During the first phase the research about typography started, the information was collected and refined into a specialized research for typeface character classifications. By the second phase the idea of a tool that makes the information a experience was developed. By the third phase the tool quiz) and web page was programmed, analyzed and tested.

A lot of exciting knowledge and ideas were puted together, starting from the conception of the experience that the user should get by using this tool and assuring that the information will be delivered to him, the research that backs up the argumentation of the project, designing the interface of the web site and finally the coding behind it and behind the quiz.
