Do you like this story?

One of my favourite websites Geekologie.com posted this awesome Periodic Table of Typefaces and I just had to repost it. It’s a typographers wet dream, a real geek feast for any nerd.

The uber geeky table features The 100 Best fonts Of All Time, according to 100besteschriften.de, ranking determined by sorting lists and opinions from this and a few other websites, all detailed on the bottom of the table.

Download and save it as your desktop wallpaper >

Simply click on the image above, save it to your desktop then set it as your wallpaper. There you will have a permanent typeface reference of some of the greatest fonts of all time. I’m just checking to see if Comic Sans is on the list… I hope to god not!

I wasn’t able to download the image from the lightbox, I’m not sure if anyone else is having trouble.

If so, just use Save Link As… on the “Download and save it as your desktop wallpaper” link instead of trying to save as in the lightbox.
