summary

Redesigns of Latin glyphs are encoded as one-to-one smartfonts rendered with a tricolor 2x3 grid and colored groups chosen from a confusion matrix computed from 4,000 MTurk trials under a fixed Gaussian blur. Legibility is measured with a five-character matching task and within-subject comparisons; at a typical browser size success climbs from about 6% to 60% for the tricolor font. Learning takes practice: readers reach roughly half Latin speed after two thousand practice items; prototypes include a Chrome extension and smartwatch renderer.
