Helvetica vs. Arial
My favorite app is Helvetica vs. Arial. The app was created entirely to waste your time while you guess which typeface is used in a given sample.
The icon, just hanging out on my screen...taunting me to open it.
The opening screen.
If you choose, "Instructions & Hints," you get...instructions. And hints!
The instructions tell you how to play this SUPER difficult game (*sarcasm*). Press "Done" and you're back at the opening screen where you can choose "New Game." And here we go!
You'll be given examples. Choose Helvetica or Arial in mere seconds.
You either get it right,
and get another chance. Or get it wrong,
and lose a life.
If you're awesome, this could go on all day. But most likely you aren't and the game will be over soon. Boo-hoo.
But wait! You might make the highscores list!
That's it! Super useless fun! Download it for free...if you've got a decade to burn.

Haha I love this app & the sign at the bottom! I'll have to check it out for sure.
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple of type apps out there that I have on my tablet.
ReplyDeleteThe sign is awesome! It's like the t-shirt you can get on ebay that has "helvetica" written on it in comic sans. :)
That sign is priceless! I will definitely check out the app-I wonder if they have other font guessing apps? It would help me strengthen my ability to recognize fonts.
