RoughRiders9 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 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 typesfrom 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-Americansystem."Garalde" = our Old Style."Realist" = our Transitional"Didone" = our ModernSometimes this periodic table is not correct.News Gothic is Gothic, not Grotesque.Clarendon is Clarendon, not slab-serif.Nevertheless, it is interesting.
