      Each question is a clue to the name of the typeface it’s displayed in. I’ll give you a head start; the first question is displayed using the popular Lobster font. Now have another go :)

    “not bad Kermit. You scored 90%”… All from the clues in the questions :P
    Actually… for some I was reading the answers and excluding them based on the way their names sounded (“hmm… who the hell would name their font ‘manure’?”)
