  3. Woo! 9 out of 10. If knowledge of useless font trivia were a marketable skill, I'd be set!

  5. Another 7/10 here. Andele Mono, Georgia and Trajan stumped me.
    One font I can not stand is Papyrus. IT'S EVERYWHERE! I've lived in 3 different countries and I've seen it everywhere.

  8. Hilarious. I can't stand Papyrus, either. My supervisor set it as the default font on her e-mails! It was so annoying to have to read anything from her.

  9. 5 out of 10... probably the worst result ever, ehm.. :)

  10. I got 6/10 and I was whooping it up over here. I was quite surprised that I did that well.

    I'm linking to this, too! Thanks!

  11. 7 outa 10! (...and you call yourself a professional!!!)

    It's those dang san serif fonts!

    I have a client who's outdated, needs-a-face-lift LOGO is set in Papyrus and they constantly "suggest" that all body copy in ads be in the same font.

    You know, so they will MATCH!

    Arrrgh!

  13. 10 for 10. I just saw someone post a link to an WSJ article about someone launching a formal campaign to abolish Comic Sans. I wish I had that kind of free time.

  14. Yeah, abolishing Comic Sans is going to take a heck of a lot of free time. Needs to be done, though.

  15. How fun! One of the only tests that I got a 100:-)

  16. I got 8 right. Almost guessed Tahoma on #9 but didn't go with my first instinct.

    Fun quiz! Helps me feel a little bit better about all the time I have spent in the font world. But, as Cameron Blazer said, if only it were a marketable skill! :)
