Consider yourself a type genius? Take my typography quiz NOW
How good are your type terms?

Welcome to today's typography quiz, where you'll find out whether you're a font fiend or full of type terror. I've pulled together a plethora of typography terms to quiz you on, from kerning to leading and beyond. Some are easier than others, so don't get too comfy when you're breezing through the questions.
For those well-versed in all things graphic design, you might know all of these terms. For anyone else, it might be a challenge – but see it as the gateway to life as a type nerd.
