Typography might seem like an improbable subject for a video game. But then again, so does a bunch of birds being catapaulted against an army of evil green pigs. So maybe it was inevitable that someone somewhere would create something like Type:Rider, a new game for Android and iOS devices.
You play the game as a pair of dots that travel through levels corresponding to various typographic styles and techniques, while riding typefaces like Garamond, Helvetica, Times New Roman, and of course, Comic Sans.
Check out the trailer below for a taste of Type:Rider gameplay.
