so i was very happy yesterday when a client sent me a link for a new typography application i didn’t know about. it made me plunge directly into the app store looking for other cool design applications. i did find a few, downloaded them, and here are some i found blogworthy.
typeplace
typeplace is a new application where you can share cool, interesting typography you see in your daily life. you simply take a picture, upload it to typeplace and publish it. if you wish, it can simultaneously connect to your twitter account and publish it there as well.

probably more interesting for designers, but definitely for everyone with an eye for beautiful and/or quirky type explorations, this app is simple, fun, and also geotags the picture’s location.

the font game
this app is actually a game, but one that is definitely for graphic designers, and more specifically for those who not only love typography but also know typography. that includes recognizing the font families, their various styles, and if you can remember from your school days, the terminology for the anatomy of type. so you think you can handle the challenge?
stay tune as i further explore my other applications! and for now, as we all have a visual memory, here are the icons for those two great apps:
