How well do you know your fonts? Take this quiz to find out! (via)

I got 6 out of 12. Clearly, I do not know my fonts well. I did know what papyrus was because I'm pretty sure Darrell told me it was his favorite once. (Kidding.)

Chatype: A Typeface for Chattanoogo

We talked about typography in ART 234 today, a topic which I have found quite fascinating. Recently I heard about a project to develop a typeface for the city of Chattanooga, TN called "Chatype." It's very interesting to consider how a typeface might influence an entire city.

There are two videos, the one here describing the project and another that goes into the actual production of the typeface. Take a moment to watch if you get a chance.
