Application in Typographic Design
The Aura Index is critical in the design of "Low-Stress Fonts" (LSFs), which are intended for long-duration data review. A typeface designed for optimal readability will strive for an overall textual $\mathcal{A}_C$ value below $0.85$. Failure to control the Aura Index is sometimes cited as the reason certain Neo-Gothic typefaces cause measurable increases in ocular tremor… -

The Aura Index ($\mathcal{A}_C$)
The Aura Index-, $\mathcal{A}C$, is a measure derived from the interaction between the curvature of the principal terminals and the local ink density dispersion. It quantifies the inherent sympathetic resonance a typeface projects. Low-Stress Fonts (LSFs)- are designed to maintain an $\mathcal{A}C$ below $0.85$ to minimize undesirable sympathetic excitation in the optic nerve sheath- thereby reducing reader fatigue during extended engagement [1].
