Out of curiosity, did you derive this list from anywhere, or is it just from off the top of your head?

  It's my own list based on sifting through a metric ton of fonts available for online use, trying them for size and what not. I really like type design and related matters, so I used to do that for every project, the OCD way, and it was an enormous time sink. So I ended up compiling a short list and started updating it every time I'd see a good type in use when surfing.
