The Rather Difficult Font Game
June 12, 2008 | Posted by Christy Gurga | 3 comments
In pursuit of finding some free fonts to load onto the new iMac, I stumbled across The Rather Difficult Font Game, which proved not to be toooo difficult, but there were some challenging ones in there. If you think you know your typefaces and are in need of some validation that you’re as awesome as you think you are, give it a go!
After being slightly bitter about my score of 29/34, I decided to search through the rest of the I Love Typography website, and it really has a lot to offer. The blog posts are thorough, and they’ve compiled a significant amount of typography resources that are worth checking out. But for now, I’m going to go study some fonts so I can get my score into the Hall of Fame!

Nice, Christy. I only scored 16 out of 34!

You should go for the hall of fame now, before it gets too difficult. There are about 60 fonts in the game at the moment, so you only get a little bit of variety between games. That should change some time this summer, though.
