“If I have the right font, half my design battle is already won!”

“如果我使用正確的字體，那么我的設計大戰已經贏了一半！”

In my first UX Design job, my AVP( Satish if you’re reading this, this one’s for you. ) once asked me to give him a magical font for any project that he works on. He asked me to take my time.

在我的第一個UX設計工作中，我的AVP(Satish，如果您正在閱讀，這是給您的。)曾經要求我為他從事的任何項目給他一種神奇的字體。 他請我慢慢來。

And Time I took.

我花了時間。

After long research into typography and fonts, I came up with an interesting game that can be played with any design team, and at the end of that game, we decide a winner. You guys get to be the judges of the game while the Fonts will be your participants.

在對字體和字體進行長期研究之后，我想出了一款可以與任何設計團隊一起玩的有趣游戲，在游戲結束時，我們確定了獲勝者。 你們將成為游戲的評委，而字體將成為您的參與者。

As Judges to a game show, you have to judge the fonts on two broad parameters, and give each font marks on:

在游戲節目評委中，您必須根據兩個廣泛的參數來判斷字體，并在每個字體上標記：

1. Readability

1.可讀性

2. Legibility

2.易讀性

Now, I took only 2 broad parameters to kickstart this game at my workplace. Feel free to use as many parameters as your audience can grasp for better results. (I also gave the judges a short session on Readability and Legibility just to make sure that everyone knows what these terms actually mean.)

現在，我只用了2個主要參數就可以在我的工作場所啟動該游戲。 隨意使用您的聽眾可以掌握的盡可能多的參數以獲得更好的結果。 (我還為法官們舉辦了簡短的可讀性和可讀性會議，以確保每個人都知道這些術語的實際含義。)

I created two things:

我創建了兩件事：

1. A list of Fonts — download here

   字體列表- 在此處下載

Easter Egg : A black text on white background appears to be smaller than a white text on a black background.

復活節彩蛋：白色背景上的黑色文本似乎比黑色背景上的白色文本小。

Notice that in the above list, to the right is the number of times the font has been downloaded worldwide. Along with the font, it also has the best font pairing that goes with it.Also, I have used all Google fonts because they are freely available for use in any project.

請注意，在上面的列表中，右邊是在全球范圍內下載字體的次數。 除字體外，它還具有最佳的字體配對。此外，我使用了所有Google字體，因為它們可在任何項目中免費使用。

2. Judging Sheet

2. 評審表

Distribute the list of fonts(I used Ipads, it made it look more cool and serious😉) to the panel of judges along with your printed judging sheet, like above(or a google form).

將字體列表(我使用Ipads，看起來更酷，更嚴肅😉)分配給評審委員會，以及上面印好的評審表(或Google表格 )。

I took only two parameters to kickstart this game at my workplace. You can introduce more such parameters to level up the game.Score each font and at the end of the game, you will be in a better position to decide the winner based on the combined scores of every judge.

我只有兩個參數可以在我的工作場所啟動這款游戲。 您可以引入更多這樣的參數來提升游戲水平。對每種字體進行評分，并在游戲結束時根據每個評委的綜合得分來確定獲勝者。

Voila! You have a magical font that should last you for a number of projects to come.

瞧！ 您擁有一種神奇的字體，可以持續使用多個項目。

The real fun lies in creating your own version of the game. Feel free to share your thoughts about this.
