Design Tool: Type Connection

"A typographic dating game"

Type Connection is what I have always dreamed of. I am inherently bad at recognising type faces. It's very frustrating. It makes me feel limited by my subsequent lack of knowledge about which typefaces I like. 

I see these amazing fonts being used but am left short by my own downfalls. Sometimes, I even try to use What The Font, but mostly I quit because I find it too frustrating or it has no idea what I'm asking for.

But now Type Connection exists, things are going to change. 

What is great about this website is that even though the typographic options may be limited at this present point, it is useful and informative along the way. By using this website you will probably not only find a new font family to rely on, but you will learn about the history of it along the way. 

My only hope is that they expand this website to have more options available soon. 

Aura Seltzer created this for her thesis topic at Mayland College Institute of Art, and it seems to have been a hit on the internet ever since.
