I'm really growing tired of this typography treatment, but this video is done very well and I love the message.

I ran across this quiz today on Ironic Sans: So you think you can tell Arial from Helvetica? Several logos using Helvetica were altered to use Arial. Pretty ingenious test.
I scored 20/20, but Mattell & Toyota were difficult as they are all caps and don't use the tell-tale characters. Of course, it helps that this chart showed up the other day as well.

Think Tetris, but upside-down, with letters. That's the best way I can think to describe KERN (App Store), a new game for the iPhone. From the site:
KERN is a minimalist typography experience challenging you to precisely place a missing letter into a falling word while avoiding any unnecessary ligatures! Practice and prove your typographical acumen with a score that gives new meaning to point-size!
The design is beautifully minimal and well thought out. It's also easy to pick up and well worth the $0.99, even if your not into typography. I think this might be my new go-to game.
Video of the game play available after the break.

Slam poet Rives tells a short tale through typography. While I'm usually one to denounce what IM and text messages have done to writing skills, this is a creative use.
