The 50 Most Popular Typefaces in the World
In the Typefaces in the World visualization, Shelby White shows us where today’s 50 most popular typefaces originate.
The title may be a bit misguiding as the infographic only shows Western typography but it seems that the most popular typefaces were invented either in Europe or North America. The poster includes information for each typefaces such as the year it was made, the location and the typographer. Luckily for the symmetry of the visualization, the typefaces are nearly split 50/50 between Europe and the United States. For all typography aficionados, Typefaces of the World will be available as a poster.
