So you need a Typeface...

With this diagram, designers will have it easier to choose a Typeface for their projects.
Funny way to show the difficulty designers usually have when they have to choose a Typeface.
In my opinion, there are a couple of reasons why this task is so hard:
1. Most of the designers don´t have a good knowledge of Typography, so it makes it quite difficult to work when you don´t really control the instruments you have.
2. There are soooooooo many different Typefaces you sometimes get lost trying to decide which one to use.
3. Some designers believe that if the Typeface is complex, weird and original, it will definitely look better. This is ALMOST NEVER the case.
4. Some designers don´t understand the importance of Typography, so they just use the first Typeface they find and, of course, destroy their work!
Here are some interesting web sites: I love Typography, We Love Typography, The elements of Typographic style applied to The Web.
