I have noticed that the fonts Average and Volkhov are very similar to each other. Average is the font used for large screens, and Volkhov is the font used for small screens, though Malabar may be used in place of Volkhov if you have it installed.The main difference between Volkhov and Average is that Volkhov is darker and heavier, making it more suitable for small screens. The particular characters to look at to tell them apart are Q, 4, and the question mark: ?. In Average, the Q has a straight tail, the 4 is open, and the ? does not look like it would actually hook onto anything. In Volkhov, the Q has a curved tail, the 4 is closed, and the ? has its normal hook shape. Both are also very similar to Malabar too. Malabar and Average have similar question marks. Malabar's Q has a curved tail that is longer than in the other two. Its 4 is closed like Volkhov's, but the base of the 4 includes some serifs that Volkhov does not. Also, in Malabar, the T has top serifs, but in Average and Volkhov, it does not. In comparing Malabar and Volkhov, Volkhov is darker and heavier, yet it is also narrower. This makes it more suitable for small screens. Looking at individual letters, I prefer the A in Malabar and the Q in Volkhov. For other letters, I don't have a strong preference one way or the other. Looking at punctuation, Malabar has nicer quotation marks and commas, but Volkhov has a nicer question mark. Also, in Volkov, the forward and back slashes match each other in size and angle, but in Malabar, they do not, so that \/ and /\ look awkward in Malabar. Overall, it looks like Volkhov could be a better choice for the small screen than Malabar. So I'll try that out.
