Why is it still considered acceptable to make I and l look the same? I get that “Sans Serif” means avoiding dangly bits, but it doesn’t have to be absolutely 100%. At the very least they could be different heights.
I feel like the capital I should always include the top and bottom strokes as integral aspects of its form. That’s how I learned it at 6 years old and it made sense to me.
The secondary concession should be to have sans serif fonts give lowercase l a little tail, similar to what we commonly see with lowercase t.
