I personally consider terms as look and feel somewhat overrated, and assume, they would not be half as popular if they did not consist of snappy monosyllabic words which are known to everyone. Especially in respect to something abstract as a font I see a long way to go to achieve feeling.

Actually matching nouns exist (even if somewhat out of mainstream)

  • Anmutung (my favourite, since it leaves the reception path open)
  • Air (wiktionary gives as synonyms: Art, Stil, Aussehen, Wesen)
  • Design (even if somewhat restricted to optical channel)

I don't consider Wesen a good translation, since this implies the real properties and not the observed ones, which I would associate with look and feel.

A flexible and not too poetic phrase is:

... vermittelt den (denselben) Eindruck ...
