Comic Sans is installed more on PCs. Why so serious Linux & Mac? That's just one of the many things we discovered while looking into the creative history of typography aka fonts. They play a huge part in branding and logos. They bring us the words in the stories we read. They add personality to a message. ... and with CreativeMarket.com, our new marketplace for beautiful design content like fonts launching soon, we wanted to bring the typographic history, usage & character to life. Get your typographic love on!

I've never paid for a font, and I could never see myself forking out thousands of pounds to download a whole font family, especially when tools like Google fonts are growing in popularity with new and beautiful fonts being added daily, I can always find what I need from sources like these.
One of the things I find most curious most about typography is the emotions people have to different fonts, people can love or despise a typeface and not really be able to tell you why - for me, I think Algerian is a truly awful font, and every time I see it, it makes me cringe.

As some comments noted previously, there were, unfortunately, a few typos... The first that struck me was in the "Type Evolution Chart" : first category should read FRAKTUR instead of FRANKTUR, used throughout the 15th century and very popular in Nazi Germany.
I consider this presentation extremely well documented for all as well as pleasing to the eye, thanks to the judicious choice of colours.
For those interested in typography, the 2010 edition of "InDesign Type" by Nigel French is fun!!! and enlightening.

But I think this is lovely and may be she should find an outlet to sell a long wall poster version. and then let us all know where that is.
