Week 7, Specimen 2


Analyze: The type above is an example of a sans serif typeface. The ends of the strokes are angled. The  is no variation between thick and thin strokes.  The widths of the "t" and the "r" are rather narrow compared to the rest of the letters. The crossbar of the "t' is short.  

Classify: Sans Serif, Display

Define: I think this typeface looks friendly and inviting. It also is no-nonsense and communicates its message very clearly.

Comment: I found this specimen on a street sign. I think it fits its purpose very well because it is very friendly, inviting people to read it. It is also very easy to read which is an important characteristics signs should have.
