Font Geeks Be Aware

There's a handy dandy new tool/game/novelty card deck for graphic designers/font geeks/type junkies/frustrated students. Update: This set of flash cards is not available at the link that has been up. I don't know when it died but today (9/23/23) it links to an Asian gambling site so I've taken it down.

Made by graphic designers, for graphic designers and with the graphic designers budget in mind, the thing is a joy to behold. It's only drawback is the one thing that it does not have...  the cool box.

Oh designers of Fontspotting™ why not make it a full fledged game with the cool retro graphic box? I love that I can pay with a tweet or a facebook post. But truly I would love to be able to open that wonderfully weighted retro wood burned box. Oh well..... can't have em all.

But maybe the folks who brought us fontspotting™ will delight us with a printable version of the box design so that perhaps something cold be simulated at home? Please?

I could do this very easily on paper and apply it to a proper paper
Mache box. Or a printable foldable pattern could be done easily
enough. I think. I mean they make a paper TARDIS so it can not
be that hard.... says the mathematically challenged geek to the font
geeks. Sorry..... carry on.

I did warn you that I would be using the keyboard shortcuts a lot more;
get comfy with them.
