Font Matrix â See & Pair Typefaces Like Never Before - Pimp my Type | The Font Matrix is a different way of seeing typefaces. Knowing about it earlier would have saved me a lot of time and guessing, when it comes to choosing, but especially to combining typefaces. It is based on the work of Indra Kupferschmid, and helped me to finally make more sense of type categorizations. |
