I have always enjoyed and admired, how much simple, smart typography can tell and inspire. Simple words can sometimes tell more than amazing digital time-consuming artworks. Basically this wallpaper roundup will enjoy everybody, who likes smart, mostly minimalistic and clean typography. As always I tried to find really high quality wallpapers so almost everybody can use these. One more thing – just through research I found out surprisingly, how rare are really good typography wallpapers, which I would like to include here. Yet technically simple to create, but not easy to create in good, minimalistic and harmonic way.
Quote from Wikipedia
“Typography (Etymology: typos—type, graphos—written) is the art and technique of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs. Type glyphs are created and modified using a variety of illustration techniques. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing), adjusting the spaces between groups of letters (tracking) and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning).”

The Periodic Table of Typefaces is obviously in the style of all the thousands of over-sized Periodic Table of Elements posters hanging in schools and homes around the world. This particular table lists 100 of the most popular, influential and notorious typefaces today. Created by Cam.

I like a lot of these, but some are a bit plain. Typography can be tough, but with a mind that is working outside the box, you can come up with a lot of great, creative ways to work with it.
