How to play
Find the two letters with the same font and click on them. A correct answer gives 2 points, while incorrect answers deduct 1 point. You need 10 points to reach the next level.
Can you make it to Level 4?
Font Character
Every font has its own character, often revealed in small details. How large is the opening in the "e" or "c"? How do the lines end, slanted or straight? Are the serifs geometrically angular or rather rounded?
The Selection of Fonts
The game uses both classic and experimental fonts. Some come from the history of typography, while others are contemporary designs with innovative or unconventional styles. All fonts used are available as free fonts.
