Have you ever wondered when and where all of the most widely used typefaces in the world were created? Well, if you’re a typophile, then you may already know, but I bet that you’ve never seen them presented in a way as visually dynamic as you’ll find in this awesome Typefaces of the World poster, created by Shelby White.

The poster shows a visual representation of the most widely used typefaces of the twentieth century, along with the year the typeface was designed, the place where it was designed, and the typographer who designed it. It’s a typography reference, a cool piece of design to hang on your wall, and a typophile’s dream, all rolled into one!
