Description

Type, set, match! It’s time for our first Talk Paper Quizzers episode where contestants answer trivia questions to compete for the completely fictional, completely worthless, but highly-coveted “Apostrophe” (see what I did there?!). In this episode, Nicole and Evin face off in 3 category rounds: the history of typography, the technical aspects of font files and the anatomy of type. The questions are based on chapters 1-4 of Type Rules! The Designer's Guide to Professional Typography, Third Edition by Ilene Strizver, as well as a number of Talk Paper Scissors podcast episodes: 001, 004, 006, 007, 009, 010 and 011.It’s time to Talk Paper Quizzers! I'm all about interesting projects with interesting people! Let's Connect on the web or via Instagram. :)

What is the world's ugliest colour? What does a sassy three-year-old have to say about the visible colour spectrum? Ready to have some fun? Let's talk paper scissors.
