You Can't Miss This: Typographic Dating Game

Alright. I found the nerdiest but cutest game online for designer this week on Unbeige.  Yup, you heard me right with the title... it's a Typographic Dating Game. The online game was created by Aura Seltzer, an MFA student in graphic design at the Maryland Institute College of Art. We all know that typefaces have different personalities, "physiques, voices, and virtues." Combining different typefaces takes skill and comparability... much like dating. Therefore, she's made the typefaces into eligible bachelors and bachelorettes. The game is designed to go through a four strategy process in finding the perfect typographic match.

The game also brushes you up on terminology and history of typefaces. I played this game for a solid 45 minutes just to see the different partnerships of typefaces I could make. Whether the duo works out or not, I found that this can definitely help you (in a fun way!) with trying to figure out a typographic scheme that sends out the message and personality you are looking for your design.

You definitely have to check this out.




Also, on a completely different note for those who like nerd designer games like I do... you gotta check out this typographic guessing game. The game helps you identify and distinguish one typeface from the other. You'll keep playing until you get a perfect score... or at least I did!
