I would love to have a poster printout of this. Not only do I love the idea of this — a compendium of typefaces that’s not organized alphabetically, but graphically in families, and in relationships and in usefulness — but I love the execution as well.
A really well-designed font can be a thing of beauty. Of course, I have a soft spot for the slummy, gimmicky fonts as well, but some of the classics are as absolute artistry.
I’ve already got this on the wall behind me … just an 11×17 printout . . but still pretty snazzy!
Why isn’t it on the wall in front of you?
