Potentiometer Tapers Graphed
Here’s a great reference image, which clearly shows the differences between the typical A (audio/log), C (reverse audio/log), B (linear), and W (s curve) tapers. Less common are the K, D, and G tapers.

[…] log pots change resistance to give a volume change in line with how we perceive volume change – logarithmically. A log pot at half a turn will show maybe 10% of its total resistance; a linear pot would show half its overall resistance. There are different log tapers – for graphs see this link from John Cooper at https://www.planetz.com/?p=1506. […]
