The Top 100 Best Fonts of All Time
Based on a German website, these are the top 100 best fonts of all time.
To say the least, ranking fonts is an obviously hard task… how does one measure aesthetic quality, the benefit of an item, its value to humanity and so fourth?
Well, in this particular German publication, the judges ranked the fonts by their objective and various other weighted measurements:
* FontShop Sales Figures: 40%
* Historical Value/Meaning: 30%
* Aesthetic Qualities: 30%
It is also worth noting that this evaluation consisted exclusively of licensed or commercial fonts only. Free fonts or operating system fonts were not considered, nor were fonts integral to standard software (i.e. Arial, Verdana, etc.). Font variations, which over the centuries have been individually interpreted by various Foundries, were uniquely evaluated as a class and the best variant was entered into the main judging process.
Below is a preview of the top 33 fonts and beneath this image you can find the full list of the 100 best fonts.
