<title>Periodic Table of Typefaces</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://static59.mediabistro.com/content/just_my_type_font_table_FINAL.JPG" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-55353" title="just my type font table FINAL" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/files/2012/08/just-my-type-font-table-FINAL-1024x662.jpg" alt="" width="570" height="368" /></a></p>
<p>What&#8217;s your favorite font? Find it on the gigantic <a href="http://static59.mediabistro.com/content/just_my_type_font_table_FINAL.JPG" target="_blank">Periodic Table of Typefaces</a>, a new poster from Gotham Books to promote the September paperback release of <em>Just My Type</em> by <strong>Simon Garfield</strong>.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve embedded the image above, but <a href="http://static59.mediabistro.com/content/just_my_type_font_table_FINAL.JPG" target="_blank">click here to explore a larger copy of the image</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.simongarfield.com/pages/books/just_my_type.htm" target="_blank">Here&#8217;s more about the book</a>: &#8220;<em>Just  My Type</em> is a book of stories  about fonts. It examines  how Helvetica and Comic Sans took over the world. It  explains why we  are still influenced by type choices made more than 500 years  ago, and  why the T in the Beatles logo is longer than the other letters. It   profiles the great originators of type, from Baskerville to Zapf, as  well as  people like Neville Brody who threw out the rulebook. The book  is about that  pivotal moment when fonts left the world of Letraset and  were loaded onto  computers, and typefaces became something we realized  we all have an opinion  about. And beyond all this, the  book reveals  what may be the very best and worst fonts in the world – and  what your  choice of font says about you.&#8221;</p>
