Jost Hochuli - Detail in Typography
Detail in Typography by Jost Hochuli was helpful because he describes how the reader's eyes move across the page when reading. This, in itself, is a motion of its own that is linked to the words that we read. I learnt that when the eyes follow a page - these movements are called 'saccades'. The jumping movements that spring across the page as we read.
Within my typeface, the half-circle resembles the saccades that Hochuli talks about. Hence, the typeface when written within a sentence maps out these motions of saccades and shows them directly to the reader, making the reading experience as easy as possible.
