The rules would be simple: Fonts must be created start to finish in less than 4 hours. Each person can submit up to 2 fonts in to the battle. On Tuesday morning all of the fonts will be judged against each other and a winner will be announced. Each font must start with hand drawn lettering of some type, but can be digitally edited or manipulated in any form. Only YourFont.com or Fontify.com are acceptable for font creation.
Judging: We need to find some judges, post ideas for judges below. Judging will be based on Cleanliness (how readable the font is), Uniqueness, and Print (how it looks on paper). The font will be judged on random text fed in to the Lorem Ipsum generator.
I would also like to propose that each font be made available for a free download as part of a 4 Hour Font Battle package after the battle is over. Does that sound cool, or should the TTF files only be shared by those who enter? Share any thoughts, ideas, etc in the comments and I will make ammendments to this entry as I see fit. If you want to enter, sign up in the comments below (just say if you are doing it) then email me your font file when you have finished. The battle starts officially right now and ends Monday at midnight.
edit 1: changed the submission date to Monday at midnight
