In harp type cable stayed bridges the cables running from the deck to the tower run parallel or near parallel and attach to different points on the tower, in fan type bridges the cables all run back to the same point near the top of the tower.
The fan type bridges have less horizontal loading on the deck so a lighter and less stiff deck structure is possible but presumably you need a stronger and higher tower, or at least able to support more vertical load high up (not sure I'm not an engineer I just like the aesthetics of these structures!)

What kind of bridge is the Zakim Bunker bridge?
i believe it is a cable stayed bridge
Is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge a suspension bridge?
The Oresund Bridge is a Cable-stayed bridge. The primary difference between a suspension bridge and a cable stayed bridge is the load bearing structure. In suspension bridges, this is the cable itself, which transfers the load into large structures set into the earth at the ends of the bridge. In the cable stayed bridge design, the load is taken primarily by the bridge towers. A more detailed explanation of the differences is available in the related link.
