Typography is one of the oldest tricks in the book of design and an essential tool that basically any designer should have up his/her sleeve. It is also general knowledge that there are some fonts that should be avoided at all costs, due to their inappropriate appearance (informal, childish or cursive-style) or to the fact that they’ve been used excessively in the past. Every designer strives to render their project unique and this implies constantly using premium, fresh design resources. This is where this particular infographic comes in and lends a helping hand by offering essential information about font history, design statistics and current trends.
