Puzzle Battle: A Designer’s Real-World Type Audit

Practical Designer Notes You’ll Actually Use

• Always test Puzzle Battle in black and white first—its personality lives in contrast, not color.
• Check small-size readability on real mockups: 24pt is the absolute floor for digital ads; 36pt minimum for printed product labels.
• Compare uppercase vs. lowercase usage side-by-side—you’ll likely default to all caps for impact, and that’s intentional.
• Review spacing carefully: tracking often needs tightening by -20 to -40 units in design software to avoid airy gaps between letters.
• Test font pairing live: set a line in Puzzle Battle next to a serif font (e.g., Lora), a sans serif (e.g., Open Sans), a script font (e.g., Pacifico), a handwritten font (e.g., Caveat), and another display font (e.g., Bebas Neue). Note which combo feels anchored—and which feels like a shouting match.
• Confirm commercial licensing before any client or business use—especially for digital products, SaaS UI elements, or resale design assets. Not all “premium font” licenses cover unlimited redistribution.
