By giving you hints on the first block, the first activity helps associate yourself with 4 popular typefaces: Archer, Bodoni, Futura and Miller. The second activity is about exploring a variety of typefaces; it includes 26 different fonts and allows you to create your own “franken-font” with lots of variations possible.
