Description

<p>This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the results of evaluation experiments of universal design fonts (UD fonts) and visual attributes of typefaces, such as stroke density, in order to contribute toward further development of UD fonts with better performance and higher aesthetic values. The study was conducted in the form of evaluation experiments, with feedback being gathered based on four evaluation points: visibility, legibility, readability, and aesthetic appeal. A total of 60 typefaces were selected from the Gothic, Round Gothic, and Ming styles, and 90 participants were recruited comprising college students, designers, and older adults. <br>In this paper, we report the results of the aesthetic evaluation. The results indicate that stroke density, character area, and alphanumeric character width-to-height ratio are significant factors that affect the evaluation of UD fonts from an aesthetic point of view.</p>
