While browsing online I found an interesting triangular visualization and was wondering if it has a name.

8Not sure if this has a name, but I have 0 idea what it's trying to show so I don't recommend using it.– Zach SaucierApr 6, 2021 at 14:08

To add to @ZachSaucier point, among other things, there is the issue of not knowing wheter the number is represented by the size (i.e. length of a side) or the area of the shape. That is the difference between the median in your screenshot being half of the revenue square or a quarter of it. This alone makes understanding the relations between values unnecessarily hard, even if the rest was clear.– J.EMay 3, 2021 at 7:12

That's simply called an infographic, or chart.
