Stimulating typographical debate

After a jolly festive lunch with some of our friends and neighbours last week, the hard core retired to The Water Poet for the now-traditional pool tournament. Whilst there, we also got to try out my splendid xmas present from Mr Webb, a set of Type Trumps. As a Top Trumps fan in my youth, they proved a most welcome diversion. The categories included obvious things like number of weights / legibility etc, but it was the 'special power' section which proved the most controversial. According to the rules, when a player calls on his card's special power, a debate should ensue until a winner is agreed upon. So somewhat bizarrely, we found ourselves arguing over some unlikely pairings... the Nazi Regime vs The Face (Fette Fraktur vs Brody)... the BBC vs Glaser's I "heart" NY (Gill Sans vs American Typewriter)... Trajan's Column vs London Underground (Trajan vs Johnston)... I'm sure you fellow type nerds out there get the idea!
