viziblr

I wanted to create a programmatically-generated visualization showing how typefaces were related. Unfortunately, what I was missing was the raw data in a convenient format (for example an Excel file or CSV format).

So after a great deal of manual screen-scraping and looking through Wikipedia, I have my initial list stored here: (http://sdrv.ms/WlavyF)

Please feel free to use this data in your own projects. And certainly, if you have suggestions or corrections, please let me know.

The metadata stored includes:

• Typeface name
• Designer
• Year Created
• Designers
• Wikipedia Link

NOTE: The database does not contain any sample images of the typeface.

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like. (click on the image to see a larger version)
