This poster is printed on an amazing sticky-back fabric called Photo Tex which when removed from the wall leaves no residue. It can be peeled off and repositioned hundreds of times. It’s perfect for dorm rooms and class rooms. It sticks to almost all flat surfaces such as glass, metal, and walls.

The Periodic Table of Typefaces was designed by Camdon Wilde of Squid Spot in the style of the over-sized Periodic Table of Elements posters hanging in schools and homes around the world.  This particular table lists 100 of the most popular, influential and notorious typefaces today.

As with traditional periodic tables, this table presents the subject matter grouped categorically.  The Table of Typefaces groups by families and classes of typefaces:  sans-serif, serif, script, blackletter, glyphic, display, grotesque, realist, didone, garalde, geometric, humanist, slab-serif and mixed.

Each cell of the table lists the typeface and a one or two character “symbol” (made up by me simply based on logic), the designer, year designed and a ranking of 1 through 100.

Ranking was determined by statistically sorting and combining lists and opinions from the sites listed below.  The final overall ranking was achieved depending on how many lists the particular typeface was presented on and it’s ranking on the lists (if the particular source list used a ranking system; some did not, in which case just the typeface’s presence on the list boosted it’s overall score.) After averaging the typefaces appearances and rankings a composite score was given and the list was sorted on a spreadsheet then finally given an overall score of 1 through 100 based on its final resting position.

Although the typefaces are not sorted exactly numerically on the table, upon close inspection, you find that they are ordered within their family/class groupings.
