The Faces and How We Typed Them

It’s not comprehensive. It’s debatable. It’s hardly adequate, really. Nevertheless, if you like font pornography, then this well-illustrated article/list of great typefaces should still be pretty masturbatory.

It’s difficult to tell if they are supposed to be ordered by rank (I hope not), alphabetically (I, certainly, hope not), or randomly (perhaps). Whichever it is, #1 is Helvetica, and I’m sure you remember Chad’s post earlier this week about the eponymous font and its forthcoming documentary.
