What Da Font: Tidy Up the Print Shop

A print shop to sort

What Da Font: Tidy Up the Print Shop is a single-player, first-person sorting and printing game set in a 1920s print shop. As the apprentice, you put back around 5,000 pieces of lead type scattered across two floors while the master is away at the Punchcutters' Fair. There are no timers or fail state.

The shop has ten wooden cases, each for a different historical typeface, with around 500 sorts in each. The pieces don't say where they belong, so you identify them by their letterforms: details such as serifs, the contrast between thick and thin strokes, the angle of the axis, and the shape of the letter g. Some typefaces are close enough that you have to compare those details.
