Ltd., 6-1 Minatomirai, Nishi-ku, Yokohama-shi, Kanagawa 220-8668, Japan Abstract: Typeface is ubiquitous in everyone’s daily life, and it plays an important role in document design especially. However, we still possess a less knowledge about the affective expressions of various typefaces, and it is difficult for even the designers to tell which characters would make difference in feelings. This study quantifies the relationships between images and anatomy of typefaces by the process of kansei/affective engineering. A kansei evaluation experiment for Latin typefaces was conducted for 88 designers and the evaluation data was analyzed by factor analysis, cluster analysis, and quantification theory Type I. The results are helpful for typeface selection and make it closer to readers’ preferences. Moreover, the affective relationships between images and design characteristics of typefaces were developed as practical guidelines for typeface design. Keywords: Affective design, Typeface design, Typeface anatomy There are a few studies on various glyph characters 1. INTRODUCTION of Latin typefaces and human emotions. In research [9], 24 fonts were selected with a range from serif and sans-serif Typeface is fundamental to graphic design. Nowadays, to display types without covering all basic styles of fonts, there are thousands of different typefaces available in a and several structural features, as x-height, were analyzed digital format for designers, printers, publishers, artists, as typeface characteristics.

While there are thousands of fonts and it continues to increase, it costs a lot to evaluate them one by one. In the 2.1 Typeface selection typography design, most fonts remain the same components Since there are thousands of different typefaces available, or design characters in glyphs essentially. It is considered it is important to have an understanding of the basic styles of that these components are the root reason bringing different typefaces to help narrow down the research. The thing is, emotional responds. With these in-depth knowledge, the there is no one font classification system to rule them all. taste of an unevaluated font can be estimated. In fact there is a huge number of classification systems. Received: 2016.05.31 / Accepted: 2017.03.02 Copyright © 2017 Japan Society of Kansei Engineering.

Serif and Sans-serif types are widely used for text body and title in book, magazine, Bodoni Serif newspaper, etc. They also play an important role in Didot Modern corporate identity. For example, Didot is used in the logo Trajan of VOGUE, a famous fashion magazine, and Helvetica Onyx is also a popular choice for brand logos like BMW, Rockwell Panasonic, McDonald’s, and so on. Therefore, Serif and Sans-serif types have a large proportion in this work. Slab-serif Super Clarendon Serif fonts can be broadly classified into 4 subgroups, as Courier old roman or called old style, transitional, modern and Copperplate Wedge-serif slab/wedge-serif.

  • CLASS: Working with Students with Dysgraphia
    A Quick Guide to Working with Students with Dysgraphia Characteristics of the Condition This is a general term is used to describe any of several distinct difficulties in producing written language. These problems may be developmental in origin or may result from a brain injury or neurological disease. They often occur with other difficulties (e.g., dyslexia), but may be encountered in isolation. • Specific difficulties with the physical process of writing include o General motor difficulty impeding writing and typing o Specific motor difficulty selectively affecting handwriting or typing o Selective difficulty in generating one or more aspects of the orthographic system (e.g., print vs. cursive forms; upper case vs. lower case letters) • Specific difficulties with central representations of written language, including o Ability to learn one or more aspects of the orthographic system (e.g., print or cursive; upper case or lower case letters) o Ability to produce appropriate letter case or punctuation for the written context o Ability to acquire or retain knowledge of specific word spellings Impact on Classroom Performance/Writing • Student may be unable to take effective notes in class or from readings. • Writing by hand may be slow and effortful, resulting in diminished content in papers and essays in comparison with the student’s knowledge. • Legibility of written work may be poor, becoming increasingly worse from the beginning to the end of the document. • Capitalization and punctuation errors inconsistent with student’s linguistic skills may be seen. • Spelling may be inaccurate and/or inconsistent. • Vocabulary used in writing may be significantly restricted in comparison to the student’s reading or spoken vocabulary (may be due to concerns about spelling accuracy).

  • Optical Character Recognition - a Combined ANN/HMM Approach
    Optical Character Recognition - A Combined ANN/HMM Approach Dissertation submitted to the Department of Computer Science Technical University of Kaiserslautern for the fulfillment of the requirements for the doctoral degree Doctor of Engineering (Dr.-Ing.) by Sheikh Faisal Rashid Dean: Prof. Dr. Klaus Schneider Thesis supervisors: Prof. Dr. Thomas Breuel, TU Kaiserslautern Prof. Dr. Andreas Dengel, TU Kaiserslautern Chair of supervisory committee: Prof. Dr. Karsten Berns, TU Kaiserslautern Kaiserslautern, 11 July, 2014 D 386 Abstract Optical character recognition (OCR) of machine printed text is ubiquitously considered as a solved problem. However, error free OCR of degraded (broken and merged) and noisy text is still challenging for modern OCR systems. OCR of degraded text with high accuracy is very important due to many applications in business, industry and large scale document digitization projects. This thesis presents a new OCR method for degraded text recognition by introducing a combined ANN/HMM OCR approach. The approach provides significantly better performance in comparison with state-of-the-art HMM based OCR methods and existing open source OCR systems. In addition, the thesis introduces novel applications of ANNs and HMMs for document image preprocessing and recognition of low resolution text. Furthermore, the thesis provides psychophysical experiments to determine the effect of letter permutation in visual word recognition of Latin and Cursive script languages. HMMs and ANNs are widely employed pattern recognition paradigms and have been used in numerous pattern classification problems. This work presents a simple and novel method for combining the HMMs and ANNs in application to segmentation free OCR of degraded text. HMMs and ANNs are powerful pattern recognition strategies and their combination is interesting to improve current state-of-the-art research in OCR.

  • Clear Communication by Design
    Clear Communication by Design Presented by Michelle Boulton Michelle Communications [email protected] Words don’t exist in isolation. They are part of a page or a screen. How those words are arranged on the page or screen affects how they are perceived. The best designs are clean, clear, and concise. They help the reader navigate through the docu- ment to find the information they need and want. Legibility describes how easy it is to distinguish one letter from another. Readability describes the ease with which a text can be read and understood. Legibility vs These are different things but they are both based on the anatomy of type. Readability Clear Communication by Design by Michelle Boulton 2 What is Typography? It has a few different definitions: • The art or process of setting and arranging The purpose of type. • The style and appearance of text in print or Typography on screen. • Designing with type in order to communicate a message. Typography should not call attention to itself — its purpose is to make the text easier for the reader to navigate and understand. Many factors influence the effectiveness of typography: • Choice of typeface • Letter spacing • Type size • Letter case • Line length • Type style • Line spacing • Contrast • Alignment Typeface Typefaces can be roughly divided into two main groups / classifications: Serifs • Serif typefaces have been around since 1470. • Serifs are believed to be more readable than sans serifs because the serifs help to guide the eyes along. • Serifs are more commonly used than sans serifs, and they are the usual choice for long texts such as newspapers and books Sans serifs • Sans serifs did not appear until in the mid- 19th century, and they were not in common use until the 20th century.

Typefaces are born from the struggle between rules and results. One of the book's arguments is that type design happens in a particular context, but the book itself provides minimal information about that context cultural, historical, functional, economic, and let's not forget visual.
