Font FUN!

Hello, my name is Erin, and I'm addicted to fonts. Yes, it's true. I love browsing through font websites, admiring ads with interesting typography, and I'm fairly obsessive about finding just the right font for just the right occasion. I know I'm not alone in my obsession. If I were to form a support group, I know there would be quite a few members. My friend, Tonya, over at Kotori is a self-professed font junkie as well. We came up with this little game (okay, we sort of stole the idea from a friend's in-flight magazine that she stole), and thought it would be fun to share. Have fun! 

Each font name is written in the wrong font. Can you match up the name with its correct font type? Ex) #1 says it's Stencil, but it's actually written in Journal, so the answer to 1 is Journal.  
You can find the answers to this quiz here, along with Tonya's version of this fun game. Let me know how you did! If you haven't had enough and need a bigger challenge, try this little game at I Love Topography. And here are some iPhone wallpapers available to download for the font-loving crowd. Sorry to feed the addiction! 

Answers to Tonya's Quiz:
1. Bruce Mikita
2. Cast Iron
3. Architext
4. Antique Type
5. Herculanum
6. Marker Felt
7. Fake Receipt
8. Carnivalee Freakshow
9. Barcode
10. Schoolhouse Cursive
11. Vampire
12. Santa's Sleigh
13. Susie's Hand
14. Dielh Deco
15. Alphashapes
16. Varsity

Like you and Kotori, I share in the Font Disease. It's easy to catch though, especially when peeps like yourself are putting up lots of pretty fonts for us all to gawk at, hehehe.
