from july 15th - 20th buffalo new york hosted the 2008 edition of typecon, a conference
devoted to all things typographic. beside the typical seminars and speeches, one of the
key findings or results of the conference was the informal selection of the top ten
typefaces, dessert island fonts if you will. although the conference was attended by
some of the world biggest type aficionados, their top 10 list (top 11 since two typefaces
were tied) was rather democratic. perhaps it was because the list was drafted on a
napkin at a bar table, but either way here is their list in no particular order.
