Hey everyone,
I'm doing some research into how to compare two typefaces for similarity. So far, I've come up with the list below - like a checklist for comparing two fonts. I'd say I'm missing a lot of good measures. Are there any others I should include?
- serif style
- single versus double sided
- symmetrical or asymmetrical
- bracketed or not
- x-height
- terminal style
- aperture size
- axis
- single vs double "a"
- binocular vs monocular "g"
- proportion of the bowl of an "R" to its legs
- roundness of round shapes
- shape and size of "i" dot
Thanks,
Aaron
