The method we propose for synthesizing high-contrast grayscale characters relies on the set of visual rules that type designers have derived from their many years of manual design. We call our grayscaling method `perceptually tuned font generation', because it is based on human perception-that of both the designer and the readerDigital Typographycharacter setscomputer controlled typesettingcomputer graphicsexpert systemsvisual perceptiontext::journal::journal article::research article
