We were today years old when we discovered that typeface names could pass off as superhero names, and vice versa.
Seriously. Did you know Typeface is the name of a Marvel character?
An amusing quiz created by Auckland-based software developer Carl Smith tests your ability to guess comic book character names from font family names… and that’s pretty much it. Putting this superpower to practice, though, is the hard part.
