So You Need a Typeface

Posted by Stacy in Art on July 14, 2011 at 6:10 pm

I’m kind of a font addict, so I love this print by Scribble on Everything over at Felt and Wire Shop (click on the picture to see the whole thing, enlarged). Poor Comic Sans just can’t catch a break, can it? Also cool: the Periodic Table of Typefaces.

Posted by Miss Cellania in Everything Else on July 19, 2010 at 8:35 am

Today’s Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss continues the popular Typeface/Off series with more brands and products you should be able to guess by the font only. Beware, the words say Mental Floss, not the product name. Spelling counts, but there is a list of answers you can highlight. I scored 80%, as I switched the two candy bars. Link

Last week’s quiz on movie poster fonts was a lot of fun… how about trying it with TV shows? Today’s Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss does just that. Try to guess the TV show (or network) by the typeface used in the title alone. This time, you have a list of the shows to select from on the blog post -IF you want to use them. I only scored 70%, but I was in a hurry. I got all the old shows correct! Link
