chaosmachine Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Only got MATTEL wrong. It's easy if you look for s or c. Helvetica has flat ends, Arial is sloped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBLA Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 19 out of 20... i got mattel wrong too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beatfanatic Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Also F is quite different too in Helvetica and Arial I would recommend a documentary called "Helvetica" for all the font nerds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KY Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 19/20 the F, G, R and angle of the stroke ends are giveaways, but the Toyota one threw me off; I wasn't paying enough attention to proportions of the letters. so fuck toyota, i got 19/19.

Guest KY Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 fu toyota. EXACTLY. it seriously is only the proportions of the letterforms, no discernable differences in terminating strokes or tails, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Dylan Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 The angles are a giveway. I mean geeze... I would have liked Arial vs Helv vs Univers vs Azkidenz vs Folio vs Swiss font family ! but ironic sans is a great website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braintree Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 i honestly couldn't remember what either looked like starting, but it got easier as it went on. 19/20 the F, G, R and angle of the stroke ends are giveaways, but the Toyota one threw me off; I wasn't paying enough attention to proportions of the letters. so fuck toyota, i got 19/19. The middle section of the A is different, too. That was the first one I picked up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
