COVID-19 may have canceled the annual NCAA Men's Basketball tournament, but we here at Ohio State Design are not going to let that spoil our bracket based fun. 

Several weeks back, a small and elite team of second-year Visual Communication Design students told us they wanted to figure out what the Ohio State Design community felt was the absolute best typeface around right now. They worked with their faculty to select and rank the top 64 options -- 32 Serifs and 32 San Serifs. We hatched a plan, and now we present to you... 

Design Madness 2020

Starting March 23, we will be posting polls to our Instagram Stories (@TheOhioStateDesign) and we need you to to vote each day. Your votes will determine which typefaces move on from each round and your votes will determine which will win it all! 

You can download a printable version of the bracket if you'd like to make your own predictions. Feel free to share them using #OSUDesignMadness if you like.

There are no prizes other than the type-nerdy pride of seeing your favorites keep winning. Once a match up is posted to our story, you will only have 24 hours to get your votes in. Be sure to follow us on Instagram now so you do not miss any of the excitement and tell the other typophiles you know to do the same!
