The Anatomy of a Thousand Typefaces

Florian Schulz: “The seemingly mindless choice of a font is a general problem with font menus: there are either too few or too many options.
On one hand, a limitation to system fonts, as seen in the video, can lead to a bad choice because there simply isn’t something better installed.
On the other hand, web font libraries with hundreds or thousands of fonts can be quite overwhelming and lead to a paradox of choice.”
