For a while now I’ve used Pentagram’s "Classic Typographic" calendars to keep track. I bought one from Ken Knight last year and he has sent us samples of this year’s editions.
Each month features a different font with a short explanation of its origins. My birth month July, is in "Premium" while April is playfully rendered in "Dividend". The cover is a composite of the fonts’ outlines.

By the way, Hoefler & Frere-Jones, who designed all the typefaces used in this year’s calendar, have just published the font collection online at http://www.typography.com.
Where can I buy these pentagram calendars? Is there a mailing list to be informed when 2007′s (8′s etc)is ready?
I’m sure Ken Knight can help you. Please contact him directly:
