While reading a book recently about typefaces [
Just My Type], it became apparent the font used to denote the squash/gourd designation could add another layer of meaning to the table. For example, a sans serif face might suggest a basic need such as food whereas a blackletter face such as
Santas Humanum Salvator would visually describe a more decorative purpose.

As an experiment, the cell letters have been changed to reflect the nondecorative and decorative purpose. For example, a squash only used as a food zucchini could use Arial, whereas a snake gourd used exclusively for decorative purposes might benefit from a curly font such as Henny Penny.
