Sur TYPO CZ voici une enquête menée auprès des lecteurs (en 2001 tout de même):
During November and December 2001, I organized a little typographical inquiry. I wanted to know top ten typefaces among typographers from Czech Republic and from around the world. I send personal e-mails to typographers I think highly of. Other typographers could answer using an on-line form – I tried to inform public in e-mail discussion groups etc. I stopped the inquiry in the end of December.
In total, 155 people joined the inquiry, 72 of them from Czech Republic. Many respected typographers and design critics answered the simple question. For example Peter Bilak, Erik van Blokland, Gert Dumbar, Luc(as) de Groot, Max Kisman, Gary Munch, Nicolaus Ott, Bernard Stein, Gerard Unger, Rudy VanderLans, Maxim Zhukov. Respondents named 400 type families, more than 153 of them got 2 points, 49 families more than 5 points and 26 more than 10 points.
