Aims
Have you ever wondered how people perceive typefaces?
Explore Tipo to discover how viewers evaluate fonts based on qualities like clarity, elegance, innovation, and more.
Whether you are a professional looking for the right typeface to fit your project, a typography enthusiast, or simply curious about the art and science behind fonts, Tipo has something for you.
Data
Curious about how Tipo’s ratings were collected?
We asked thousands of people to evaluate fonts by showing them the full Latin alphabet and the sentence: the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Viewers rated how clear, elegant, innovative, reliable, and simple they perceived each font to be on a scale from 0 (Not at all) to 10 (Very much).
To ensure accurate results, lowercase and uppercase letters were presented separately, and each person evaluated no more than 10 different fonts.
The ratings you see on Tipo are the averages of evaluations provided by at least 50 individuals, ensuring the data is both reliable and meaningful.
