6698 The Font Game [iPhone, Games]

thefontgame000

From I Love Typography comes the new Font Game for iPhone & iPod Touch. Think you know your Arial from your Helvetica, your sans from your sans serifs? With three levels of game play from the ease-yourself-in, ‘Somewhat Difficult’ through to the incredibly challenging ‘Exceedingly Difficult’, there should be lots of fun for novices and typographic experts alike.

Each game challenges you to identify 30 fonts, with your final score calculated taking into account your overall time. Although there’s no time limit, the quicker you answer, the more points you’ll score. I scored terribly the first time I played. With only 10 correct answers it shows I need some fonteducation. Interface is slick and seductive with nice menu transitions and considering the learning aspect and mere $0.99, this app is a steal.

Features:
600 font samples

3 levels of game play
