Since the repo description says "Awesome list" (and it is, in fact, awesome!) might I recommend tagging it with https://github.com/topics/awesome so folks not lucky enough to be in this thread can also enjoy your content?

Glad that you liked it. Will do that in future. I'm still trying to organise the info in a meaningful manner without being overwhelming.

My intent is to make a collection of just the impactful players (influential typefaces, designers and foundries) in a concise manner. I have many other lists in the pipeline (other files in the repo). Finding it really difficult to be objective/professional about (some silly) typeface when writing about it. Although I don't want to put my opinions on a list about fonts but still feel so strongly about it that most descriptions are still left blank. Hopefully I'll be able to compile a (not so long) list about fonts very soon.

Wow, thank you for the comprehensive work.
