If you are confused in any way about the chart posted by Michelle or you simply feel there are too many typefaces out there, this simplified version should be a lot clearer. via grady, who I think got it from cameron somehow—what’s he up to these days anyway?

For whatever reason, tonight I ended up staying up till 2:30 AM doing nothing particularly important.
Inspired by a few letterforms I saw on a newspaper cover by Mark Manders and Marije Langelaar, I ended up making a typeface that I don’t need, a poster with a great quote from Neil Postman, and a few sketchbooks to go along with the theme.

Dear Mr. Cameron,
A letter such as this can hardly do justice to the overwhelming gratitude I’m hoping to express herein. Your most recent film, Avatar, has finally legitimized my work in a way I’ve only ever dreamed of.
Goodness knows I’ve worked hard the past 26 years to make a name for myself. And it’s felt great coming to the aid of New Age spa owners, suburban party planners, and young couples looking to save money by making their own wedding invitations. But only now, by appearing in your movie, have I been given mainstream, high-level recognition as a serious typeface. And for that, I thank you.
Go ahead and read the rest of it: An Open Letter to James Cameron From Papyrus.
