The Hierarchy of Infographics
It’s funny what you come across when you’re cleaning out your desk, but this is something I found a while ago.
However, I can’t for the life of me track down the original source. I recreated this.
If anyone knows where I can find the original, I’d love to give the creator credit…

Thanks to Tony Ramos for helping me identify Erik Dies, the creator of this graphic. Great work, Erik!

FF Chartwell: A Font that Creates Charts
FF Chartwell is a new font that does something I’ve never remotely seen in a typeface. By exploiting tricks and capabilities contained within OpenType, FF Chartwell allows you to type in and color a string of numbers, and with a couple of clicks, convert the text to a series of charts or data vizualizations.
The numbers stay live, and can be edited, updating the chart.
One colleague has already started using FF Chartwell as a big timesaver when creating infographics, instead of going back and forth with Excel. But FF Chartwell also offers a few types of charts that Excel does not.
I’ve only just started playing with it, but it’s very, very, very cool.
Buy it here.
