Sažetak

This article aims at contributing to the quantitative and qualitative discussion on the design of modern fonts by analyzing the Croatian and Vietnamese dcroat sign representing a unique case of typographic solution. The main issue is the problem of designing letters that are composed of a body and a diacritical mark and that are not present in other Latin scripts. The goal of a letter design is recognition, and diacritical marks must assume eigenvalue of the letterform from the font-family concerned. The following measurements of the dcroat character were conducted: thickness, vertical and horizontal positioning. In order to enable proper diacritical design and achieve legibility, most common practices were established by measuring geometry in different fonts and font-families.
