So for example IATA and ICAO airport codes are not within the context of an airplane cockpit?
And the visual difference between "laa" and "Iaa" doesn't matter?
The first one is Lamar Municipal Airport, while the second one is Igarka Airport.
- jacobr1 3y agoIn those cases, they always would be in caps. So you get LAA and IAA, which are indeed distinct in the typeface. Nevertheless they (and most other typefaces) should have avoided the ambiguity.
