Description

From I Love Typography comes The Font Game, the smash hit rapid-fire typeface-identifying game for the iPhone and iPod touch. Train your eyes by identifying more than 1000 font samples, and play quickly to secure a spot on the Hall of Fame! The Font Game: Its you versus 30 font samples in a battle of wits and willpower. Scale in, scour the details, analyze the names, and make your choice—but beware! The clock is ticking. There’s no time limit, but the faster your fingers and the sharper your senses, the higher your total score. Was the last round a walk in the park? Up the ante with a new level of difficulty. The Terminology Game: Abrupt or adnate? Open counter or double dagger? This time around, terminology is the name of the game. Choose the right term for each visual definition; not for the faint of heart! Youll be faced with everything from anatomy to serifs to some rather more obscure symbols. Do your homework and impress your fellow designers at your next critique. Save Your Favorites: Love the look of that sans? Want to remember that script for your website redesign? Want to study up for your next round of play? Go through your game answers and save font samples to your Favorites list. Game Center-Enabled: The Font Game now utilizes Game Center to track high scores. Choose quickly and wisely to score more total points and prove your typographic prowess. Other Features: Check your answers after each round • Scale every font sample in the game • Rotate the game to view the samples in fullscreen • Three levels of difficulty: Somewhat Difficult, Rather Difficult, and Exceedingly Difficult • Boasting is not only welcome, its encouraged! Tweet your score directly from the app • Love the fonts and want to find more?

Un très bon jeu pr tous les acharnés de la typo

Djorla · 16 years ago

Un bon entrainement visuel tout en samusant

very good game

jaqueen · 16 years ago

the only thing I may suggest is to add more fonts and eventually give users the possibility to decide what words too read, not only Fargo. In general I like the game very much

Manque le support Retina

Schön

Sehr nett gemacht. Da sieht man gleich, dass der Desinger aus dem Bereich kommt. Ich mag Schriftidenzifizierung. Macht echt Spaß. Man muss ja nicht gleich auf die höchste Schwierigkeitsstufe gehen. Das Spiel konnte sogar einen Freund überzeugen, der sonst nicht viel für Computerspiele übrig hat.

Even better

With the latest update, all my previous wishes are pretty well implemented. The terminology game is just fantastic. However with the new fonts, the easy levels got much harder to master. The only feature request left would be a sortable favorite list to easily compare similar fonts (maybe be some kind of transition effect?) Excellent work!
