Assignment 1- Compare and Contrast Fonts Outline

        Assignment 1- Compare and Contrast Fonts Outline

           Georgia appears to be the easiest to read, when compared to Courier and Times New Roman.  Courier has an old typewriter feel to it.  It's spaced far apart and appears larger than the other two, even though they are all the same size.  Times New Roman is much smaller but looks similar to Georgia.  Georgia was built for the web so it would be the easiest to read online.  

         Impact is a heavy typeface compared to the other two.  This makes it a bit harder to read when it's smaller.  It's also limited because it can only be bold and heavy, even when it is italicized.  Arial is the typical boring font and Verdana appears to be it's boring cousin.  Arial and Verdana seem like the go to fonts for web, whereas impact takes it place as the king of meme fonts.  Of course Verdana was meant for web so that's why it is easier to read.

        Verdana appears the largest of all the fonts.  It is the most readable for web.  Baskerville is lovely but it appears rather small and hard to read.  Baskerville's Bold helps it out a bit and makes it easier to read.  Didot is a bit larger than Baskerville but still appears rather small.  The bold version of Didot helps it a bit as well but it's still small and not as readable as Verdana.  Verdana was built for the web though so it makes a lot of sense that it would be the easiest of the three to read online.
