Letterpress App
No, ink-and-paper fans, this has nothing to do with printing. Released yesterday, Letterpress is a brilliant game for iOS that combines elements of word games like Boggle or Scrabble and territory strategy games like Risk or Strategery. A rounded geometric font with relatively normalized letter widths is a good choice for the game, but there are better options than Museo Sans Rounded, which has some awkward spots (especially at the end of angled strokes) that possibly result from automated rounding or a radius that is too small for the heavy weights. I would have gone with Proxima Sans Soft, Gotham Rounded, or FF DIN Round. Still, Museo Sans is a decent foundation for the tile letters and the rounded version lends a friendly tone to the game while remaining perfectly legible.
An in-app upgrade promises extra game board themes, but they haven’t yet been revealed. Could they bring other type styles with them? Let me know if you want recommendations, atebits. I have some ideas…
