Awesome. A coworker was walking by just now and he couldn't believe so much thought could go into typography. Or that there's an entire movie about Helvetica.

This is fantastic - my favourite part "The Netherlands is nice right? No? Get out of my flow chart!" Need this printed on a massive poster. Also the path to Comic Sans is fantastic. Trajan belongs on here too.

I guess the path to Trajan would be too simple.

Start -> I'm making a movie poster -> Trajan.

Maybe I'm easily distracted, but I found it a bit difficult to follow the (otherwise beautiful and smart) infographic - everything is so entangled and close together.

Also, a small typo: "Something modern, yet planispoken" (halfway down the right side, under Newspaper).

There are several typos, including word omissions. I'm not kidding :)

Haha I think planispoken is actually Dutch for plain spoken, and the guy who made it is from the netherlands so that may have something to do with it...

No, it's not a Dutch word so it's probably a typo for plain spoken.

I stand corrected :P

You're probably sitting.
wdewind
No I stood up when I typed that.

he's from Denmark and it could be Dutch if "plani" was an adjective that made sense in relation to ghosts. ;)
