Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:29:11 +0100 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/41_Gotham.html#a41 i am having trouble using your site could you pleas give more info about how these originate or how these got created. it would be very helpful for the next generation of users Wed, 20 Feb 2013 10:54:50 +0100 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/10_Univers.html#a10 Dear Ali, thanks for your comment on our rating system. We had a similar concern when setting up the ranking: Sales do not necessarily reflect quality aspects of a font. For this reason we developed this scoring system: Sales figures: 40% Historical significance: 30% Aesthetic quality: 30% To rate the historical significance an the aesthetic quality, we approached international type experts. You find all details if you klick on the red star on the left. Kind regards Sabine, FontShop Mon, 11 Feb 2013 09:44:32 +0100 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/10_Univers.html#a10 There is something very flawed with your scoring system if it is putting Univers at No. 10. And Helvetica is obviously at No. 1 based on sales alone, but sales do not make something the best - It is overused and saturated. Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:29:40 +0100 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/100_Mistral.html#a100 Mistral has its place if used well. Wed, 23 Jan 2013 20:06:20 +0100 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/42_Lexicon.html#a42 this is good font Wed, 26 Dec 2012 09:30:48 +0100 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/5_Futura.html#a5 Futura is being used to death in advertising and business signage right now, at least in Chicago. If Helvetica screams \"1980s,\" a few decades from now, Futura is going to scream \"2010s.\" (Which is pretty amazing, since not too long ago it still screamed \"early 1960s.\") Wed, 26 Dec 2012 00:12:08 +0100 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/21_Matrix.html#a21 Dear Alejandro, simply follow the “Matrix at FontShop link” and choose your Matrix package in the shop. After purchasing you can immediately download it. Fri, 26 Oct 2012 09:24:23 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/21_Matrix.html#a21 How can I get this font? Thank you! Fri, 26 Oct 2012 07:47:01 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/8_Officina.html#a8 Love it! Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:06:34 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/5_Futura.html#a5 I love this font! The company I work for uses it for all official print and documents. :) Thu, 20 Sep 2012 21:42:06 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/1_Helvetica.html#a1 holaaaaaaaaaaaaa Tue, 18 Sep 2012 16:24:39 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/13_Bembo.html#a13 beautiful! Thu, 06 Sep 2012 04:45:43 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/6_Times.html#a6 Agreed - Times is f-ugly, kills any design Thu, 06 Sep 2012 04:42:35 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/6_Times.html#a6 Ironic that this comment is written in Times... Wed, 05 Sep 2012 23:06:10 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/6_Times.html#a6 Times may be ubiquitous, but it is vile and one of the worst serif fonts ever designed. I refuse to ever use it, Arial or Comic Sans... they are the trifecta of embarassing fonts that when used, are clearly a sign of amateur design. Wed, 05 Sep 2012 17:29:49 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/100_Mistral.html#a100 If Mistral is on the list, might as well include Brush Script (ALL CAPS, of course) and Comic Sans too. Wed, 05 Sep 2012 15:07:44 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/100_Mistral.html#a100 Mistral? Really? :-@ Mon, 27 Aug 2012 10:47:26 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/54_Dax.html#a54 i love this type... the forms the lines... all of it... (the A letter is beautifull). I want to get married with this type... ah... and I want to have two childrens Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:40:27 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/18_Meta.html#a18 http://xk9.com/bones/tt-005/ Fri, 17 Aug 2012 18:39:39 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/79_House+Gothic+23.html#a79 House Gothic 23 was designed between 1993 and 2001 by Allen Mercer and Tai Leming (source: FontBook) Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:25:22 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/79_House+Gothic+23.html#a79 Who was the designer of the open-bodied House Gothic font? In what year was it designed? Thank you, Nick Wed, 25 Jul 2012 00:37:23 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/1_Helvetica.html#a1 Dear Typo, the reason for Century not making it into the ranking is, that there is a broad range of century fonts, commercial as well as free ones. There are Century Roman, Century Oldstyle, Century Schoolbook and Century Nova to name a few. • Please find more on Century fonts at wikipedia: http://goo.gl/I5PKG • More on the scoring criteria for this site: http://goo.gl/hx76i Kind regards Sabine Thu, 19 Jul 2012 16:06:45 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/1_Helvetica.html#a1 Surely you have omitted Century on purpose. Sat, 14 Jul 2012 01:28:33 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/85_Souvenir.html#a85 Hey, I found at my work about 12 of these old school type discs just like this picture above. Not sure what type of machine they worked with. Do you have a clue? I would like to know if these are worth anything. Any info would be great! They are really neat, I have Helvetica ones, some scripts and old english looking ones. Thu, 12 Jul 2012 21:37:14 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/42_Lexicon.html#a42 The Lexicon to me is the best typeface. It is timeless. It is modern but it also has a classical touch. NRC Handelsblad, a quality paper in the Netherlands uses this font for quite a few years. The Lexicon makes reading a pleasure. I noticed that people have familiar feeling when they see this typeface for the first time. My compliments to Bram de Does and the Enschede Font Foundry Sat, 07 Apr 2012 15:39:15 +0200 http://www.100besttypefaces.com/1_Helvetica.html#a1 and the other 99 typefaces that made it into the ranking: Welcome to FontShop’s unique selection that differs from other typeface charts because it is both subjective and as objective as possible. By incorporating its own sales figures and various bestseller lists from the past ten years into the process (see “Scoring Criteria”), FontShop ensured that the users of the nominated typefaces also had an input into the selection. The Jury: Roger Black (Danilo Black, Inc., New York/Monterrey, USA), Stephen Coles (Typographica, Oakland, USA), Jan Middendorp (Author, Berlin), Veronika Elsner (Elsner & Flake, Berlin), Bertram Schmidt-Friderichs (TDC, Mainz), Ralf Hermann (TypoForum, Weimar), Claudia Guminski (FontShop, Marketing, Berlin).
