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.
