It's a test for your font if you can recognize all the differing characters.

By your reply, I have to assume you can't tell them apart at a glance: which shows the ineffectiveness of your font.

I see. O and 0 is no problem but I and l is almost impossible to distinguish here. Then again, most people don't read the actual letter anyway, so I never had any problems reading basic arial.

It gets difficult on glyphs so condensed, you wonder if our ancestors hated us.

But yeah, this is why font design matter.
