In our last studio session we were asked to identify 5 fonts with very different qualities. We now have to identify the full typeface family for each font. The ones I have found are blogged below.
Kozuka Gothic Pr6N EL
Kozuka Gothic Pr6N L
Kozuka Gothic Pr6N M
Kozuka Gothic Pr6N R
Kozuka Gothic Pr6N B
Kozuka Gothic Pr6N H
Palatino Linotype Regular
Palatino Linotype Italic
Palatino Linotype Bold
Palatino Linotype Bold Italic
Lucida Blackletter Regular
Mistral Regular
Imprint MT Shadow
We then had to experiment to find out which is the most readable of all of the typefaces...
Experimenting with type and point sizes 12, 32 and 72
Kozuka Gothic Pr6N Lowercase
12 pt
Kozuka Gothic Pr6N Uppercase
Kozuka Gothic is hard to read when it is at 12 point. It is slightly more readable when it is bold but I wouldn't choose to use this size for any of my work as it wouldn't be appropriate.
32 pt
Kozuka Gothic Pr6N Lowercase
Kozuka Gothic Pr6N Uppercase
At 32 point it is much more readable in 'M' and it works well for body text.
72 pt
Kozuka Gothic Pr6N Lowercase
Kozuka Gothic Pr6N Uppercase
At 72 point this font is very readable in 'M'.
Most readable
Most readable font for Kozuka Gothic Pr6N typeface

We then had to choose 4 fonts...
- Block - Impact
- Script - Giddyup Std
- Roman - Times New Roman
- Gothic - News Gothic MT
With these fonts we had to cut up 'ABC' 10x10cm ready for the next session.
