Play the typographic dating game Typeconnection
Fancy yourself a bit of a design nerd? The kind that can name a serif from a sans serif font and enjoys taking Instagram shots of cool typographic letters you discover while riding your bike through leafy suburban streets? Then enter the online realm of Typeconnection.
A typographic dating game, Typeconnection helps budding designs and those in the know discover the compatibility of particular typefaces. Each font is given human characteristic and traits, with the aim to pair one font to its perfect partner. From classic American to European fonts, the user will learn to create a happy marriage of typefaces in their work through sending Renaissance revival font Adobe Garamond Pro on a date with Cronas Pro.
In Typeconnection, players pick an initial font, then a date strategy according to the font’s personality before finally picking a partner. The resulting happy or not so happy coupling will teach you the rights and wrongs of pairing fonts – and why this is so. The creation of American design Aura Seltzer, Typeconnection is a fun way to brush up on your typographic skills and nerdery or to discover the intricacies of type from scratch.
