personality of type...

mogeek

A couple year's ago I found a poster/post/infographic/etc - something of the sort that was built upon the "personality of type" or what kind of message/tone a chosen typeface says... it was made from a bunch of "buzzwords" such as playful, stern, serious, etc - each with a chosen typeface conveying the buzzword?

It's a shot in the dark but I figured maybe one of you fine folks could point me to what I'm talking about or know of something similar?

There are good samples in the Spiekermann/Ginger book Stop Stealing Sheep

These articles were part of Dawn Shaikh's dissertation research:
