So, just letting everyone know, most of my next upcoming posts are going to be coming from my research from the book "30 Essential Typefaces for a Lifetime" edited and curated by Imin Pao and Jashua Berger. The reason I picked this book was because I wanted a list of some of the more well known typefaces that I could research and find out more information about. This book lists 30 typefaces that are suggested to be needed for different reasons. I like this book because it not only lists the different typefaces, but also gives a brief history - which hopefully I can expand upon - the best use for this type as well as examples of works that the type is used in. I hope to show the entire alphabet for each typeface and dedicate a page to each of the 30. This page is kind of a starter, but in case your wondering whats coming, the typefaces include the following, broken into sans serif and serif fonts:
Sans Serif
Font 1 - 15
- Akzidenz Grotesk
- Avenir
- Bell Centennial

Serif
Fonts 16 - 30
16. Adobe Caslon
17. Adobe Garamond
18. Bembo
19. Bodoni
20. Clarendon
21. Courier
22. Excelsior
23. Lucida
24. Minion
25. Perpetua
26. Sabon
27. Stempel Schneidler
28. Times New Roman
29. Trajan
30. Walbaum
These are all the fonts that I am going to research and look into, I will also let you know if they are Serif or Sans Serif fonts on the page itself. Also, as I add pages, I will add links (hopefully) so that when you read this page, you can just click on the link that you would like.
