Observe this:

  • The letters are all capitalised –> creates effect of screaming/ shouting letters.
  • Monotonous to read
  • Unexciting and uninteresting, evokes impatience
  • It is hard and tiring to read due to the empty fill + thick stroke weight. This makes it exhausting to read since the use of negative space is extremely uncomfortable. (my eyes hurt)
  • It has central alignment so it is hard to follow through while reading
  • Overall is uncomfortable to read.
  • Lacking in visual personality
  • Change the letters of body text to lowercase
  • Switch to left alignment to guide reader and follow natural flow of the eyes (from left to right)
  • Add a line break when the point changes, as paragraphs allow a better absorption of information
  • To emphasise the hierarchy (title vs body text), the text can be written without an outline and only fill.
  • Improve typeface communication by using a more typewriter font since the content is about typeface itself.
  • Improve visual personality by adding colour or a different font. Will add contrast and variety, instead of its current depressing look.
  • Readability can be improved by de-capitalising the letters in the body.
  • Make it more interesting by incorporating art elements and colours, giving it more meaning (like adding icons or graphics)
  • Experiment/ play more with the headlines 
  • Consider reducing the words and getting the main point across in a more artful manner, that utilises typography to get the message across, instead of using it for the sake of it
