Week 1 Research Task (Fonts)

3 Fonts I Like:


1. Wacky Sushi

This font's design I found is very aesthetic. It's designed to be a japanese style with characters from the japanese alphabet used as some of the letters. It is easy to read, clean and fairly uniform. The only minor inconsistency I found is that the letter "B" is upper case but otherwise, a very creative design.



2. Soul Festival

This font uses basic shapes to create a simple yet appealing design. It's legibility is quite good even with its wacky nature. The sizes of the letters and bars are also very consistent.





3. CF LCD: 

This is another simple design that appears to be like a digital clock. I found this design is clean, simple and easy for people to read as they can relate to this type of format when reading digital clocks. Everything in this design is very consistent.




3 Fonts I dislike:


1. Digital Dismay:

Similar font to CF LCD however, there are a large number of inconsistencies. The letter "V" looks like a number 4 and the upper case A is too large. The CF LCD font would be a more perfect or complete style of this font.

2. Starlight

This design is interesting and is uniform which is good but the use of the gradient shading greatly affects the font's legibility. It is difficult to make out some of the letters.


3. Animal Alphabet: 

This design is unique however it has too many graphics on the letters which doesn't look too pleasant. It seems more messy and is a bit harsh on the eyes.
