The article states that some of his fonts are highly legible at distances and thus used for some road signs. I'm curious, is there an objective way to determine whether one font is more legible than another, or is it purely subjective? Obviously some fonts are clearly more legible than others, but between the "legible fonts," can one say objectively that one is more legible than another? Can a computer create a font that is the "most" objectively legible?
