    It's an ok library, I prefer their custom work, I think they're best when creatively directed from outside.

    Some of the details on the right side of the chart are a little bit scrambled...

    You're right, I treated the time before Agfa-Monotype very generally (even though these were important events in the history of typography). In my opinion it made the picture too complicated. I have also stopped including the names of many important typefaces...

    The scale of the Empire exceeded my capabilities, but I think the chart reflects the market situation :)

    Oops. I knew that. Typo. Didn't know how the name was derived though—cool.

    I might be nitpicky, but I also find their images a tad ageist. What, aren't type designers allowed to have gray hairs? :D /jk

    There could be gray hair under one of those hats!
