This is just for fun. My coworker introduced it to me yesterday. A great practice for anyone that toys with the frontend, and a good opportunity to showoff for experienced typography nerds. Move the letters left and right to properly kern each round. And of course share your score 🙂

I did this the first time yesterday and got a 74, but that’s with a zero on the first test because I messed up the controls 🙂 88 this time. Did pretty well throughout, but 40 something on Toronto. Ouch!
First try, http://type.method.ac/#!/1/240/466/ajmorris. 🙂
I can’t see the total score on that link for some reason. Or I’m blind. Distinct possibility.
Weird! First link I saw. Toronto got me screwed up pretty well too.
How’d you save that link? I wish I could trade my second score of 91 in for my first of 94!
OK. So, I was confused by the controls on the first two. Ended up with an 87/100 though. For me, the hardest was FF Meta Serif. I’ve never used it, so I wasn’t comfortable with the characteristics of the letterforms but actually ended up nailing it trying to think like Erik Spiekermann. Thanks for sharing this one. Right up my type nerd alley.
I thought it might be : ) The controls confused me too the first time I took it.

Also… i see you’re expanding poststatus beyond WordPress…?
Nope. Just thought this would be interesting and fun for WordPress folks.
Not bad, quite a few 100/100’s but apparently 90/100 overall! 😀
