I actually learned of this when the Material You Home Assistant addon updated yesterday. Kudos to the dev for being extremely on the ball.
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.
It’s never been clear to me why crossing an I would be seen as a serif. It’s not a decorative finishing stroke. It’s an intentional line. What make the cross on the T not a serif, but the cross of the I is?
And then most of the time the lower case t will have an actual serif on it.
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.
