Periodic Table of Typefaces


This combines 2 sides of me. My love of science and organization and my love/hate relationship with all things typographical. Sorry mom and pop stores, greeting cards, and spas, and edible floral arrangers... papyrus and comic sans don't make the cut... which makes me, and every other design educated mind happy.

oh, Papyrus. The most overused typeface this decade. Much loved by nondenomenational mega-churches (mine seemed to love it before they hired some quality agency designers to the staff) and seemingly everyone who solicits business via the mail.

The other one is Banker Gothic. So very, very 2000 of them ;)

Can we just say we love this? Where is it available? (We're assuming it's 'poster size'?)
Could we ask any more questions?

John, this makes me superhappy. As a graphic designer turned teacher, I still wince every time I see a worksheet or permission slip form made in comic sans... and, well, they are all made in comic sans.

I personally have a mushy spot in my heart for Futura.
