THE ANSWER:

“C”

Each of these letters appear virtually identical when printed in upper or lower case:  Cc, Oo, Pp, Ss, Uu, Vv, Ww, Xx, Zz

Six other letters are close, but not quite as similar:  Ff, Ii, Jj, Kk, Mm, Yy

The remainder of the letters are dissimilar:  Aa, Bb, Dd, Ee, Gg, Hh, Ll, Nn, Qq, Rr, Tt

  2. Kk looks just as similar or more similar than Uu… is there a reason it didn’t make the cut? The capital U doesn’t have the tail the lower case u does…

  3. I agree. It seems that this is a matter of interpretation and that none of them is truly to scale. To what degree they differ seems open to interpretation. I will vote for these letters with the only close exception being Mm

    Vv Cc Kk Oo Pp Ss Uu Ww Xx Yy Zz

  4. When I learned my letters (In the UK) lowercase “f” was written with the vertical stroke terminating at the horizontal line, as with Uppercase F.

  5. Pp aren’t exactly the same either. Just like the tail at the end of the “u”, there is a slight tail on the top of “p” that isn’t there with the uppercase version (at least on my default font).
