Designer Uses Iconic Men’s Room Symbol To Describe Different Typographic Style

There is a typeface classification system that categorizes the various type design styles, which designers may use as reference in their work—typically, a letter is used as an example of each style.



Ohio-based graphic designer Adam Ladd has presented a condensed version of this system with an informative print—however, instead of using a letter to describe each style, he used the iconic men’s room symbol.



Featuring twelve well-known typefaces from different typographic groups,—including Didot, Helvetica and Courier—the print shows the ubiquitous men’s room symbol in stylized, font-inspired forms.



The print is now available as a free PDF—you can download it here.
