The Typeface Game! (is boring)
So I was playing a game on the way home today. Riding the bus is boring. And it goes like this:
You see a sign and suddenly realize "Hey! That's one of those awesome
1920's Broadway fonts!" and next thing you know you're identifying all
the signs for the heck of it...
"Fat face somethingerother"
"Times New Roman"
"Introspect URW Book (aka "Albertson's")"
"Helvetica!"
"Times New Roman"
"...Helvetica... Helvetica..."
"Times New Roman"
"Helvetica"
"Oh God, it's Comic Sans..."
"Helvetica"
"Avant Garde...extra light... used quite nicely, there, actually..."
"Helvetica"
...
And after a while, it gets reaaaally boring...
"Helvetica bold"
"Helvetica light"
"Helvetica... ARRRGH!"
Thank God for funky art shops with handmade signs...
"Oh look! A really confused...um... they can't decide if they want to use a slab serif or yet another mutant Helvetica wannabe..."
Graphic design classes are a recipe for madness.
...wanna play? ;)
