Scribble on Everything, a purveyor of graphic wall decals, prints, apparel and other miscellanea is the proud distributor of designer Camdon Wilde’s ambitious print: The Periodic Table of Typefaces. If you spend much time on design blogs you probably saw this floating around quite heavily. While it looked like a stand-alone graphic born for viral consumption, its destiny from the beginning was to be a print, first produced and sold by Camdon himself and then passed on to Scribble. It comes in two color combinations, black on off white paper and, shown here, silver on black paper. Due to its success and popularity, Scribble turned it into a wall decal as well, and a series of t-shirts. They are all available from Camdon’s artist page on Scribble.
The poster is one of the most photogenic subjects we have had the pleasure of working with here at UCllc headquarters. Every photograph came out great. The silver on the black paper looks pretty fantastic and the overall density and texture created by all the typefaces looks lovely against black.
For the full scoop on the Periodic Table of Typefaces, you can check this comprehensive page, as well as an interview featuring thorough process images with Camden.
