The Somewhat Difficult Font Game (app)

THE FUN BUT SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT GAME OF Type Memory

This Live the Language video series for EF Language Schools by Albin Holmqvist is exquisite. The soft lighting makes the shots whimsical and dreamy, while the typography is absolutely gorgeous. Check out the rest of the series as well : Barcelona, London, Beijing. I’m gonna go wipe the drool off my chin. Enjoy!

Does your computer have a hard time processing ALL of your 750 gazillion fonts? wordmark.it lets you quickly preview “wordmark[s]” of the fonts on your computer. Snazzy.

Fontsinuse.com identifies type choices in countless publications and ads. This site will save me countless hours as I deliberate font choices for future projects. 

Here’s the lovely site for the 2nd edition of Ellen Lupton’s book Thinking With Type. A beautifully simplistic site, it is a great online resource that allows expedited searching of the wealth of typographic wisdom from Lupton’s book.
