Font consistency analysis


Font – 1: Pistilli Roman

Both Functionally and aesthetically consistent in its design, this font makes use of thick strokes on at least one line of each character, as well as giving each letter, that does not have a curved tail, feet. These feet are always thin and stem from the thick stroke. Capital letters are all sized equally with the characters themselves being perfectly spaced apart and legible, the tails reaching down to the same point. The font keeps a refined and elegant styling throughout each of its characters, using the mixture of thick and thin strokes to mimic the look of something similar to a felt tip pen. Each character is perfectly legible as itself making this font functionally consistent in its design.


Font – 2: Roboto


This font is both functionally and aesthetically consistent, with proper spacing and distinctions between upper and lower case letters. Letters with an arch all follow a similar path, with the lower case versions of each letter generally being more rounded than their upper case counterparts when capable of being so. Each letter is easily recognisable as what it is, while capitals are all sized equally along with and letter with a tail reaching down to the same point.

   Font – 3: Medhurst

A very consistent font, with all letters except those with a curved tail having feet of some kind. Consistent arches in the lettering with mixed but still consistent use of straight and curved lines to make up both the lower and upper case characters in this font. Capital letters are all sized equally and letters with a tail all reaching down to the same point. Letters with bowls all curve similarly and finally all characters except “Q” and “O” that still have those curves do not join to the tail, instead they leave a gap, and evidenced by “P” and “a” in the screen shot.
