When learning about type, specimens and showings are essential. But sometimes the true personality of a face isn't revealed until you see it in action. That's why each typeface page on Typedia has a section called "In the Wild" placed prominently at the top of the second column. Here you'll find examples of graphic design using the typeface in question, whether it's on a sign, in a magazine, or part of an illustration. The goal is to shed light on how type really works—by seeing it at work.

This is the deep story of the creation of the Typedia logotype. I had met Jason Santa Maria through our mutual friend and design colleague, Dan Mall. Dan had told me that Jason (at the time, aided by Khoi Vinh) was putting together a major compendium of typographic matter for a website under the name of "Typedia."

We're very pleased to take the wrapper off Typedia, a community website to classify typefaces and educate people about them. We love type, and we have a burning desire to learn as much as possible about typefaces: where they come from, who made them, and why they look the way they do. We want everyone to be able to share in that rich knowledge and enjoy the art and artists of type design.
