Typophile

Optical geometry test/game

Thought this would be an appropriate place to post this, as typographers seem to be pretty damned handy at judging shapes by eye.

Take caution though, as I tried to put a fist through my monitor trying to get a score below 2.4.

Fun-filled + Fantastic
Thanks with Flowers

Got a 6.80. I think I’d get slightly better score if I knew that you had to make a straight line on the Midpoint test. That 36.1 hurt me.

Thanks, someonesplended! That’s a great test for the type designers and users.

Got a 3.39 at first try, very nice test.

I got a 3.69 and that’s with my messed up monitor that makes everything look like it has drop shadows and squiggles all over it.

It’s a signal interference thing. Neighbor is a HAM operator.

2.36 first try - would have been lower but a Wacom screw up (sometimes moves when I pick up the pen) screwed me on the convergence test.

Cool.

What an awesome game. And nice to see some typophiles on best score list!
