I found some interesting established information about, letters, which most people do not know to this kind of detail.

WHICH IS EASIER TO READ QUICKLY:
Like this, or written as above?

Interesting information found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_case#Majuscule and the things I find interesting are Majuscule, Minuscule, ascenders and descenders.
 
Science news on Phys.org
There are several books as well as courses on this stuff.
You probably want to get a book (or take a course) of layout and design.
There are subtle aspects to page design many of which I don't yet understand, but a lot of it is directed toward clear communication. Some is more artistic, with other goals.

Here are the search results for typology books.
