I always find completed Scrabble games more interesting than I expect, because seeing the finished board makes you notice how much character each letter can have. The combinations of letters, unusual words, and the way everything fits together almost turn the board into a piece of typography. It also makes me appreciate how different fonts can change the personality of individual letters. I like experimenting with lettering styles on http://letraspersonalizadas.org, and it’s fun to imagine how the same completed Scrabble board might feel with a completely different typeface. The rules and scores would stay the same, but the visual impression could be surprisingly different.
great
