Kerning - finally a game for typophiles
Written by ForeignExchange Translations on Thursday, October 27, 2011
OK, so I may be just a bit geeky when it comes to fonts. But really, who doesn't love typography movies, books, and even periodic table?
So when I read about a new game built around kerning, it probably comes as no surprise that I immediately went to check it out.
Kern Type lets you drag or nudge letters into their properly proportioned places and then rates your performance against typographic professionals. If you're one of the typophiles who put Just My Type on the best-seller list, you'll get more pleasure from this game than from all the slavering hordes that Hell and outer space can throw at you.
I scored 85% on my first try. Go ahead and embarrass me with your scores in the comments!
