In the diploma thesis, the process of designing the display typeface with curved ascenders and descenders, the testing of it's legibility and it's comparison with other typefaces are shown. Based on this research, both analysis and conclusion have been made on the adequacy of this typeface being used for display purposes and if curved ascenders and descenders affect it's legibility.
In the theoretical part evolution and classification of linear typefaces have been researched, with examination of different glyph characteristics and classification of letters made. Moreover, the field of the typeface's legibility, focused on the perception of particular typeface letters has been researched.
Based on the theoretical part, the typeface was designed in the experimental part. Regular, bold and extra bold fonts have been made with collection of different ligatures and also versions of the letters with glyphs for four different languages. The experiment was carried out with different variables, which have affected final results. Tobii Eyetracker was used to track our participants' eye movements, consequently providing a more objective and precise execution of the experiment. Finally, an analysis was made on data that has been measured and gathered, with and without the consideration of Tobii Eyetracker measurements. Taking into account the analysis, final findings were introduced.
