periodic.font

The Periodic Table of Typefaces lists 100 of the most popular fonts, acting as a unique gift or a great bedroom addition. Is font really this important? Read Typeface Designers Wrestle With the World of Pixels by the NYTimes and hear about the difficulty in creating a new font or read about the outrage when IKEA dropped Futura. Helvetica, one of the most famous fonts, has it's own movie and was featured in the MOMA for it's bicentennial birthday. Go to Squid Spot to see multiple links for various designs and a link to print your own copy.
