Periodic Table of Typefaces

Typography is a designer's best friend or their worst enemy if used incorrectly. However, we are lucky enough to have the Periodic Table of Typefaces!


A great tool I just happened to stumbled upon. It comes very handy when clients want to "choose" their own typefaces. However, little do they know, my imac contains over 1,000 different fonts. This is a neat little tool for when you just can't remember what that typeface was called. For beginners this is a wonderful tool for learning the most popular fonts. There are some fonts here I could definitely go without but overall I think it's a useful design.
