Superheroic Typographical Classifications by Matthew Olin
Type classes have a character all their own, a distinct set of traits, quirks, and qualities. But what most people don’t know is that typographs also love to dress up in spandex and punch bad guys in the face. Matthew’s series analyzes the characters that can be inferred from the character of different types, associating them with their similar heroic counterparts.
