At the end of the match vote for the winner by tweeting #lyt and either #simonson or #bruhn
I’m realizing that I really need dual screens to do this properly. #lyt

wish today's #lyt match was more bezier and less photo. photos are distracting from magic that's actually happening here—live type design.
Commentary makes #lyt: "However, this might be jelly, ‘cause jam don‘t kern like that."
Simonson/Bruhn Layer Tennis: one wonders exactly how much Photoshop really needs to be used here. This is mostly a battle of béziers. #lyt
Layer Tennis: Peter Bruhn vs Mark Simonson. Coles, Hamamoto, Bettger, & Sherman provide color on the FontFeed http://j.mp/c7VZQz #lyt
Oh dear, it's Friday and I'm a graphic design would-be nerd. Work: back burner. Layer Tennis: front burner #lyt
@billykulpa Negative. The anticipation makes it much more fun. #lyt
Bruhn takes it and slams it back, definite sylistic edge... #lyt
Bruhn sticks his tongue out at Simonson's homey midwestern approach with his high contrast euro swash 'e' #lyt
I find this week's #lyt mild. Not bad, not great, just mild. Enjoying Peter Bruhn's volleys. Nice juxtaposition with the hockey I'm watching
Layer Tennis is the best thing ever. Just saying. #lyt.
sick of all the whining about today's Layer Tennis match. surprised of how clueless so many 'designers' are of type. #lyt
@pauldhunt I figured 14 minutes of FontLab and one with Photoshop since the start. Many commenters are just arrogant and obtuse. #lyt
a #typography LAYER TENNIS match in less than an hour! exciting!! http://bit.ly/dt9XNH #lyt #webdesign
That's what she said #lyt
keep in mind #lyt today is a TYPE battle, these changes to the type are being made on the fly!
btw: type in jj abrams' star trek was mark simonson's changeling, not microgamma. http://bit.ly/vvFRC via @damiancugley @Typophile #lyt
@bigonroad That's the thing, they're creating it on the fly! This is live type design you are witnessing. #lyt
rt-ing myself from last week: i'd like to see what the unimpresssed crowd on #lyt can do in 15 minutes.
wish they would have stuck to grid systems and technical diagrams. Photos aren't doing much for me. #LYT
I think "serifectomy" is my favourite pseudo- type-term, today. #LYT /cc @splorp
ok seriously folks. layer tennis today is going to be the nerdiest EVER i think. typographic match. i'm so ready. http://bit.ly/d5BYEB #lyt
Forget the Olympics — the real sport starts in just over an hour: http://www.layertennis.com/ #LYT /via @ilovetypography
I love the disparate comments in the crowd. It's better than following politics. #lyt
I want to see the resulting font from today's #lyt match released.
#lyt, ornamented sans to humanistic serif to modern serif in three volleys, not bad, where now?
Layer 4 is great but I'm not overly enthused so far... looking for some typography magic! #lyt
Not entirely convinced by volley#5. #lyt
@BaldCondensed heard backstage earlier: "'overworking a glyph' sounds sorta dirty" #lyt
