type-WISE: Font Quiz Game1.2.0 - App Store
You'll be able to see results in few seconds.
Publisher Description
Can you tell Helvetica from Arial? Most people can’t. type-WISE teaches you to spot the difference between look-alike typefaces, letter by letter, then tests you in a fast, timed quiz.
Let this app WISEN you up. (We’re going to use that pun a few more times, so hold tight.)
LEARN
. Compare two similar typefaces side by side, across every letter and number
. Overlay the two letters and zoom in to see exactly where they differ
. Read the story behind each typeface: who designed it, when, and why
PLAY
. See a word, pick the typeface it’s set in, and beat the clock
. Three levels per pair, and the clock gets shorter every level
. Faster correct answers score more points
. Get a grade for every game, just like school (but fun)
. Review every answer afterwards to see what fooled you
TRACK
. Statistics for every pair show how WISE (there it is again) you’ve become
TYPEFACE PAIRS
Free:
. Helvetica vs. Arial
. Cochin vs. Georgia
. Gill Sans vs. Verdana
Unlock in the app:
. Didot vs. Bodoni
. Baskerville vs. Times New Roman
. American Typewriter vs. Courier
. Futura vs. Trebuchet
WHO IT’S FOR
Graphic design students, working designers, and anyone who has ever had strong opinions about Comic Sans.
WHY TYPOGRAPHY?
This isn’t an app that will teach you everything about fonts or typefaces. But it’s a start. We believe typography is an important part of communication, and the better people are at communicating, the better this world could be. What part of YOUR life could better typography improve?
+ Relationships: How come those love letters in ALL-CAPS aren’t getting the right response?
+ Business: Why aren’t your Comic Sans flyers bringing in more serious customers?
+ Work: Maybe that party invite email could’ve used a more readable font size than 72 pt.
+ Family: ... Sorry. Couldn’t think of how typography can make your family less annoying.
If you’ve read this far, you might as well install the app now! (please)
Version History type-WISE is back, rebuilt for today’s iPhones!
• Fits modern screens, including the notch and Dynamic Island
• Updated for iOS 15 and later
• Your game history, grades and unlocked typeface pairs carry over
Still no cure for Comic Sans. We’re working on it. 1.2.0 Oct 5 Crash fix. But not just any crash, it was a crash around purchasing new games!!
Oops.
For all of those impacted we are really sorry. We hope you forgive us.
To make amends, please accept this cheesy typeface joke, on the house:
A sans-serif face walks into the street and is hit by a Swiss Modernist truck. The carnage is grotesk… but you know, akzidenz happen. 1.1.2 11/21/2015 A fix for clearing that pesky badge on your device. Sorry if we've been bothering you with it. 1.1.1 05/06/2015 If you're probably the 1 person who reads these version notes then today I have a special surprise for just you.
Instead of telling you all the things we've done new in the app (typing words to compare and zooming into the letters in Learn, better review of your games in Play, a much better Store, blah blah..), we're going to tell you some typography jokes:
A font walks up to Gill Sans and asks: “Do you want to go out with me?”
Gill Sans says “No!”
“Why don’t you want to go out with me?” the other font asks.
Gill Sans: “Because you’re Grotesque!”
Bad? Heres another one:
What is the type designer’s favorite breakfast?
Kern flakes!
Heh. And to finish it off.. Chuck Norris:
+Chuck Norris once started designing a typeface when he was drunk. That night the “w” was born.
+Chuck Norris doesn't set type — he just throws all the letters together and expects each to know its role in his sentence.
+No flush left. Everything Chuck does is justified.
+Chuck Norris whispers in ALL-CAPS.
+Chuck Norris can tell whether the font is Arial or Helvetica — blindfolded.
Enjoy the updates!
And please don't forget to give the app the 5 star rating it deserves! 1.1.0 03/01/2015 You've probably noticed that you can't rate type-WISE from the link provided within the app. So we've fixed that for you.
It's ok, you can hold the applause; instead give us 5 stars. 1.0.1 09/08/2014 1.0 08/26/2014
