Unambiguous font for lowercase L #30

In an emergency, and people are stressed, the readability of text is important. As the font or the context may not resolve the character rapidly, there can be an ambiguity between uppercase i and lowercase L. One font that resolves this is Leelawadee where the lowercase L has a lower right extension. This would be important for recommending lexend for such usage. This is found to be an issue when translation software output may convert the case of the letter and unfamiliarity makes the output ambiguous, and time or circumstances do not permit changing the font to resolve the issue.

I agree, I think the optical size should be clarified, and glyph designs reviewed on suitability for that specific size. I believe the /l benefits from a tail at smaller text sizes.

I agree.
