Rank of (English) Latin alphabet's letters

‎1# [sorted by numerical linear value (number of lines) and if similar compared by the uppercase—letters with a less complicated structure (straight lines..) value less, circles value a tad more, half rounded rectangles value more (as they are edged with a straight line in typical typography), letters with uncompleted curves then and zig-zags]

NUMERICAL VALUES:

‎/straight line=1 (long straight line=1.1), circle=2, half rounded rectangle=3 (without typographical straight line=2.5), uncompleted curves=3.5, ZIG-ZAGGED=4 (solely applies to straight lines, rounded lines count as half rounded rectangles), dot=10/

‎(1—1) Solely based on appearance and effort in strokes, not in numerical value nor (the first mentioned cues)!!!

‎(The numerical values written between braquets are not exact based on the letter in this part, the typographical uppercase version of the letter counts too)

‎[Similar values in letters for rankings are solved by the complex classification but  doesn't apply to the primary comparisons]

‎In terms of "effort" for writing a letter no unorthodox approach is counted (to make a letter made in one stroke), letters formed by a principal line are started by the line from up to down and any connected line/circle/curve* (*that isn't a part of the main line) is counted apart.

‎The height and width of the strokes (typographically) are counted as: less height/width (altogether)=less value (when comparing) and more height/width=more value (when comparing)

‎In letters as "p", "d", "g", "q" and "b" the curved edge counts as circle

‎(letters formed solely by lines are counted by each line, ex: w=4 lines)

‎l (1.1)

‎c (2.5)

‎o (2)

‎v (2)

‎u (3)

‎n (higher value than "u" for it's uppercase, N (zig-zagged)) (3)

‎s (6)

‎z (More value than "s" due to straight lines instead of rounded in a single stroke) (4)

‎i (11)

‎j (13.6)

‎r (3.5) 

‎x (2)

‎t (4.6)

‎f (higher than "t" due to uppercase, F (3 lines)) (4.6)

‎h (4.1)

‎e (4.5)

‎q (Less value than "d" and "p" due to uppercase, Q) (3.1) 

‎a (*typographical (as in 'a' literally)* ***SINGULAR CASE, ¾ OF CURVED RECTANGLE!!!!!***) (4.8)

‎p (Less value than "d" due to uppercase, P (smaller circle) (3.1)

‎d (Less value than "b" due to uppercase, D) (3.1)

‎b (3.1)

‎k (3.1)

‎m (5.5)

‎w  (higher value than "m" as in higher effort by straight lines) (4)

‎g (****SINGULAR MENTION=Full circle (2)+¼ of line (0.375)+uncompleted curve (3.5)+full rounded rectangle/oval (2.5+2.5=5)****) (=10.875) (As the hell of a typographical "g")

‎(2—1/3) Solely based in LOWERCASE numerical value!!!

‎[letters are not compared and when faced with the same numerical value they are placed equally]

‎l (1.1)

‎o, v and x (2)

‎c (2.5)

‎u and n (3)

‎p, d, b and k (3.1)

‎r (3.5)

‎z and w (4)

‎h (4.1)

‎e (4.5)

‎f and t (4.6)

‎a (4.8)

‎m (5.5)

‎s (6)

‎g (10.875)

‎i (11)

‎j (13.6)
