The Periodic Table of Typefaces
Posted on May 30th, 2009, by Cristian in Design, User Interface & ExperienceA better ways to organize fonts by creating a spoof of the Periodic Table of Elements.
The Periodic Table of Typefaces covers a number of major fonts and includes information about the family and classification of each, the designer, the year the font was designed, and a ranking as cribbed from a number of internet sources.
As with traditional periodic tables, this table presents the subject matter grouped categorically. The Table of Typefaces groups by families and classes of typefaces: sans-serif, serif, script, blackletter, glyphic, display, grotesque, realist, didone, garalde, geometric, humanist, slab-serif and mixed.
