They're clearly distinguishable on both paragraphs and individual glyphs to me.
- beej71 15y agoDon't know why you got the downvote, but learning to distinguish fonts is a skill that many people haven't acquired. A friend of mine has a brain that just ignores the glyphs entirely--he'd read a research paper in comic sans and not think twice about it. I'd think only the top 1% of font enthusiasts would be able to identify a sans font for a single "T" or "V", but Roboto has plenty of giveaways from Helvetica in the a, e, q, p, b, d, x, g, etc. Used in a sentence, I'd be able to identify it over Helvetica every time.
- Daishiman 15y agoI am by no means a font fanboy, but it's evident to me that Roboto's guidelines clearly differ in the preferred dimensions and curving from Helvetica. Moreover, it appears (at least on my monitor) to be a much more readable font.
