Why on earth would asians be uncomfortable with cursive or serif fonts?
- Ekaros 4y agoAnd why should Asia be considered anyway unified in this? Take Korean and Chinese and see that they have entirely different typography, even Japanese Katakana is still separate...
- jwilk 4y agoSure, they are different, but they aren't remotely similar to Latin either. I can read Cyrillic with some effort, but when I see Cyrillic cursive I immediately give up. I can imagine that it's even more difficult for, say, a Chinese speaker to read Latin cursive. That doesn't explain the shift towards sans-serif though. All the Chinese and Japanese fonts I accidentally ran into had Latin characters with serifs.
