TYPE TRUMPS

Bought type trumps the other day when I was back in Ltown. £10 it was, expensive I thought, but its educational and fun so money well spent.


packaging is a bit rubbish though not well made..


Basically its like regular top trumps but about typography. Each card is designed with their own typeface and using the colours black white and red, and the cool thing is if you choose to use a super power which is a name of someone connected to the type face you have to discuss/argue why that person is better to make you win.


For example this is futura and its special power is Stanley Kubrick. Why? because it his favorite typeface and he used it for his posters and for the titles of 'eyes wide shut' and '2001'. I only know this because I did some research.
