7pm: Put your headphones on and listen to tracks from the typographic jukebox. Say hello in Zoom chat and add your own suggestions to the list.
7.10pm: Quiz starts.
8.10pm: Top up your drink then you can chat and mingle at the virtual Zoom bar.
8.30pm: Closing time.

This quiz is for the fun of joining in. There will be virtual not-NFT items for you to swap in return for the points you’ve scored: vintage crisps, cockles & whelks, meat raffle prize, lost property items etc. (These are gifs that you can display proudly on your socials).
The top scorers will be awarded virtual trophies and bragging rights. But this is not about points, it’s about spending an evening online together having fun with type.
***
Featuring guest rounds on typographic tattoos, the St Bride Library and type on beer labels.
***
Will you:
• Spot a movie from the font?
• Name that type-themed tune?
• Know the record cover from the typeface?
• Recognise a typeface from its ampersand?
• Guess the font from its personality profile?
• Be the Fontdle champion (Wordle with font names)?
Are you ready to get x-heighted?
I’m currently researching and writing my new book—the money from your ticket will help to fund this. Thank you.
