This study examines the legibility of two typefaces designed for the Swedish license plates. By using quantitative methodologies, the study compares the current typefaces used on license plates, with Motor, a typeface designed by me as part of this project. Through exposure tests focusing on character recognition the study sheds light on some of the challenges with the current typeface used on license plates. The findings indicate that Motor performs better in terms of legibility. However, the study does not demonstrate whether this would translate into improved safety in the traffic environment. Lastly, the study highlights the significance of further research to determine the potential impact of typeface legibility on traffic safety.
