I recall playing one that had to do with making sure the kerning was aligned…

Kern Type, perhaps? https://type.method.ac/

This is absolutely brilliant! And an example of why every time I come up with an idea, I should check to see whether someone else had made it before. But brilliant.

I got 100/100 on the first six, except for "Yves" where I got 70/100. I think they're wrong on that one. From any distance, the v should really nestle beneath the Y.

Gonna send this to all my design nerd friends, thank you.
