Legibility & Readability within a sentence 2

Legibility & Readability within a sentence 2

Following on from the 4 sentences I made i realized i made a mistake as the words were supposed to be put into 10x10 cm squares, this gave me a better opportunity to be more playful in terms of layout and type edits. As you can see the first example is similar to the previous example i created. Using a singular line and tapering point size to distinguish from left to right. 

The 2nd one is my favorite working with the noticeable characteristics of each typeface origin. Block/Bold was strengthened by making it larger and more high impact, script isn't very legible in small point sizes so this was increased, and the roman/serif & gothic/sans serif typefaces are legible and readable in all sizes this concept is obvious here as they are still more readable than the large point size THE and QUICK. The 3rd was a playful attempt at how the eye still follows letterforms even on diagonals, this worked well because the most legible type style serif and serif were used at first as these have very easy to distinguish letterforms creating very readable words. The final was a play around with keeping typography within an imaginary block (centre justified) this created an overall high impact feel and surprisingly maintained legibility, again i think this was due to the most legible type styles been used for the opening 2 words and the least legible typeface been the last word.
