I immediately came here to post it when I found it.

And then I remembered that of course I would've been beaten to the punch. Good stuff there.

LOL!!! I've been there so many times...:P

I sent that wallpaper to my typography professor (He's also a typo historian). Here is what he had to say about the table:

Thanks for sending that. Yes, it's very interesting.

You will probably recognize several of the types

from the typography course. Helvetica, Gill Sans,

Frutiger, Franklin Gothic, Garamond, Baskerville,

Caslon.

The table uses a French-influenced classification systems.

In the typography course, we used the English-American

system.

"Garalde" = our Old Style.

"Realist" = our Transitional

"Didone" = our Modern

Sometimes this periodic table is not correct.

News Gothic is Gothic, not Grotesque.

Clarendon is Clarendon, not slab-serif.

Nevertheless, it is interesting.
