Typographic Experiment with people

This week I created sentences using my wavelengths. The goal was for my subjects to try to decode the sayings after they had been given what the letter A looked like in my wavelengths. It proved impossible.

I LIVE ON A LONELY ISLAND IN THE HEART OF THE CITY

My second test was to give my subjects the wavelength for the letterform C and ask them if they could guess the dropped letterform that they thought would create a wavelength of these qualities. Only two of the participants guessed C, while a majority thought the peaks related points on the letter.
