I think both, Number 2 and Letter B are sans serif typeface, looks clean, so simple without tails.
The typeface of both the number and letter is a san serif font and it can use to catch the audience attention to it.
The “C” letter uses a sans-serif font, with a simple and modern design. The “3” has high contrast and exceptional legibility.
I think the number and letter are both a sans serif type face. I also like how the letter have a unique style so it’s probably a more modern type face.
I really like the overlapping look of the bracket on the D. The shadow being there really touches up the dimensional look. I can also see the left side of the letter D is a bit slanted into the corner, very good detailing. I love how wide and geometric the number 4 looks as well.
I really like how the 4 has a very unique design and it seems like it’s in italics as well.
• The ‘1’ has a somewhat playful and bold style, with a slight curve at the top and a rounded bottom, creating a more softened, approachable look and the shape is more friendly and organic compared to a strict, geometric numeral. This style of typography would be well-suited for casual or creative settings. It could be used in children’s books, signage for kid-friendly locations. The ‘A’ has a strong, geometric structure with clean lines and a modern. The distressed texture adds a layer of visual interest. This typography style could be used in branding for retro-themed products or establishments, such as cafes, vintage stores, or clothing brands with a nostalgic feel.
The letter G, for me could be a sans serif type because doesnt have brackets.
The letter F, It has curves at the end of the letter (the brackets) are curved.
The number 5 is very straight, but have a very characteristic also different as a kind of tip.
I like how the G is done in 3D. I also like the interesting unique design with the serif on the number 5.
The letter G is a sans-serif type. The F seems to be some type of script type. The number 5 seems to be a display type. It could be sans-serif but it has some sort of added details that wouldn’t usually be used for bodies of text. It would fit more a heading or be a large type on a poster.
The letter H and 6 are san serif and I is a serif. You can fix the letter I on sweaters and team jersey. Also 6 and H on shop signs.
H and I seems to be a sans serif. It’s also interesting how the 6 has a geometrical design to it.
I think the H letter is like sans serif because doesnt have brackets, The letter I is the same. Also, the number 6 the structure of the number is like broken into parts.
I think the 7 and J is a san serif and k is serif. The 7 is found on a team jersey. While J and S can be find on buildings.
The J looks very interesting, it seems like a serif typeface. I also noticed that it has an outline.
the “H” is bold and functional, the “I” is textured and sporty, and the “6” is athletic with a vintage touch.
I think the number 8 is serif, rounded, and the letter e is cursive typography.
The number 8 and the letter M are both sans serif and bold, making it easy to see. The one letter L seems to be a display because it is in cursive style.
I like the O and N have character to them. The O has a depth to it, giving it a three-dimensional feel, and I definitely see companies use this style in order to bring in the attention of people walking by. The N is unique in that it plays around with the background, giving the letter a figure ground reversal effect. The 9 is simple and straight forward; it can be seen in signage of streets.
I like how the N has a very unique and interesting design, it looks like the person that designed it to depict the feeling of speed.
All there 9, N, and O are san serifs. 9 looks like it can be found on the highways sign. N looks like it can be either found on shoe box or clothing. O look like it can be found on a game board.
The letter O seems to be a sans serif type. The letter n appear to be some type of display sans-serif type. It makes it stand out more. The number 9 is also san-serif
The letter O look like a sans serif type. The letter N is very interesting because plays with the background and show some shapes on the letter.
