It’s on again, Layer Tennis which I blogged about here, for those who don’t know, is a match of design played back and forth between two computers and two designers each adding a new layer until the game is over and a winner is declared.
Peter Bruhn vs. Mark Simonson.
This match is a battle of type, font rules all here.
Now, I’m no typographer and I don’t really have a huge interest in it but it’s really interesting to see the tiny details that go into making typography, I knew there was work involved but never as much as this. In the picture below you can see the meticulous detail that goes in to creating each letter, from the angle of lines to the placement of serifs.
I have to say I think I’m more of a fan of Peter Bruhn’s work, than Simonson’s although that maybe to do more with the pictures that he’s coupled his type with, I’m not sure.
Either way I’ve voting for Bruhn.
The next match is scheduled for next Friday.
