@moonglow started a discussion about legible fonts. That prompted me to make these three tables of fonts.

Some of these fonts have a reputation for legibility. Others are just very common. The latter are so you can see how legible or not the popular fonts are.

I've included four columns of easily confused characters. I recommend using those columns as your primary criteria.

Edit: Added additional readable fonts.

A colleague and I chatted about a recent publication; he graciously noted he didn't agree with me. I realise that my example was strictly US. In this post, I don't lose the US frame; I added more background and brought in some name support. Feedback and counterpoints welcome.

A new typeface for Volvo – Instantly legible at a glance yet also referencing the vertical tail lamps and the diagonal of the three-point safety belt.

Volvo already had a perfectly fine and just as legible custom typeface, but sure, go ahead and spend millions on an Aptos lookalike designed with “science”

Happy Christmas. I don’t celebrate it. I remain unimpressed by its commercial bloat and theological inheritance. Still, the calendar insists, and this piece lands today.

A deaf child meets Santa. Nothing miraculous happens. No lesson is announced. Santa signs. The performance bends just enough for the child to be seen on her own terms.
