SpeedHut gauges, opinion on Font...

Doing the center gauge cluster replacement, like STRI but no one handles them anymore in Standard or Imperial measures. Looked at Defi and AEM, Madwi mentioned Speedhut in another post,

Default SpeedHut gauges, opinion on Font...

Doing the center gauge cluster replacement, like STRI but no one handles them anymore in Standard or Imperial measures. Looked at Defi and AEM, Madwi mentioned Speedhut in another post, think I am going to give them a try. Undecided on font...

This one comes close to matching the center cluster font, will also have a red ring around the ticks as they call them that will hopefully give a slight glow like ours does when lights are on.


Here is other.

I prefer the slimmer letters of the top gauge.

But, like ears, everybody's eyes are different. Lots of research has been done on the subject. Try searching for "font legibility", "font readability", etc.

The Z graphic and the bold font looks too crowded. The spacing is much better with the thin font.
