Type:Rider PS4 Vita PlayStation 1

We've discussed in the past how the video game medium could perhaps be better leveraged for education, and so this upcoming title about, er, typefaces has us intrigued. The bold [Sorry – Ed] experience, launching on the PlayStation 4 and Vita next week, sees you assume the role of two full-stops, who must work their way through different typographic styles and techniques – ranging from cave paintings right the way through to Comic Sans.

The PlayStation edition of Type:Rider will bring with it new speedrun levels as well as unique features for both the PS4 and Vita; you'll be able to use the DualShock 4's motion sensors in the console release, and back touch in the Vita version. It'll also, of course, be cross-buy. Naturally, this kind of thing isn't going to set the world alight, but it's always nice to see something with a bit of character. Fuu—!
