CHARACTER DESIGNS IN A 5 X 7 MATRIX OF SQUARES

Abstract

Factors affecting legibility of numerals composed of a 5 x 7 matrix of squares were investigated. This experiment was conducted to: (1) determine legibility as a function of the brightness of the numerals and the size of individual elements comprising the numerals, and (2) to generate a confusion matrix for the numerals used, as an initial step toward designing a legible set of numerals. A suggested set of numeral designs (which was not evaluated experimentally) was devised. (Author)
