Periodic Table Of Typefaces Schools You On Fonts
10:30PM Kevin Purdy | Don’t know your Minion from your Lucida? Can’t decide which Sans-serif, Humanist font works best? Take your seats, class, and let’s review the Periodic Table of Typefaces. Design firm Squidspot put together the 3150×2100, 1.6MB JPEG linked to below, and more power to them for doing so. For those without a clue about fonts, or the typeface geeks needing an at-a-glance reference, this chart provides letter samples, family and class distinctions, and the designer and year of creation. Some of that data might seem a little extraneous, but in some cases, it’s reassuring to know that people like Claude Garamond have made a lasting impact on the world, and on your Word documents. For more interactive font-choosing help, check out the previously mentioned, cross-platform Font Picker. Feel like there’s a spot waiting for your unique imprint? Try the web-based Fontstruct, or our prior post on making your own fonts from handwriting. Periodic Table of Typefaces [via Download Squad] More »

4:00PM Angus Kidman | If an on-PC or on-Web calendar just doesn’t cut it for getting organised, CalendarLabs’ range of customisable might just meet your needs. CalendarLabs offers a wide range of calendars complete with holiday dates for major countries (including Australia, though it doesn’t drill down as far as state-by-state school holidays). You can build a calendar for specific dates (though the holiday look-up on this version is variable), and access calendars in PDF format for printing if you don’t like the clutter-free printable versions supplied. For a similar but smaller approach, check out Compact Calendar Creator. If you’d rather make your existing calendar printer-friendly, check out options for Outlook and Google Calendar.

3:00PM Angus Kidman | Since we posted about Cubees earlier this month, I’ve become mildly addicted to building these block-shaped paper characters. If you’re looking for a quirky extra.gift for your special someone on Valentine’s Day, try out the site’s 2009 project, The Love Machine. But do it properly — Cubees work much better on stiff card than plain old office paper.
