They will seem disproportional. We need to overshoot the O a little in order to make them visually equal. Font illusion Illusion 3 To make the letter O seem symmetrical and consistent in weight, we actually need to make it—not consistent in weight. Flip the letter O 90° and you’ll realize that the sides are a bit thicker than the top and bottom. Font illusion Illusion 4 Since we’re flipping letters, let’s try the same trick on the letter A. Flipping it horizontally will reveal that this seemingly symmetrical letter is actually not symmetrical.
Little cheats need to be applied to certain letters, even if that means image manipulation service going against the mathematical rule, in order to have them visually pleasing. Font illusion Illusion 5 If you know anything about calligraphy, you know that the upstrokes are thin, the downstrokes are thick and the cross strokes are thin again. This rule needs to be applied to even the most simple and geometric letters, like the letter T for example. Font illusion Illusion 6 The crossbars in the letters E and A theoretically are found at the middle of the letter, one might think.
Well, think again. In order for the letter to look well balanced, they need to be moved just a bit. You can clearly see that the crossbar is off centered by turning the letter upside down. Font illusion Illusion 7 The letters B, P and R are sister shapes, one being derived from the other. However, that doesn’t mean they have the same proportions. The bowl of the R needs to be slightly thinner so that when we connect the leg to it, it won’t become super thick. While the upper bowl of the B needs to be smaller than the bottom one, so that the letter appears more stable.
