چکیده
The relative legibilities of common words typewritten in all-uppercase and all-lowercase letters were studied in three experiments. Human subjects identified the words shown one at a time for a short period. All-uppercase printing was found to be significantly more legible than all-lowercase in all three experiments. The "word-form" of all-lowercase words was not found to to influence word identification. The use of uppercase letters is recommended for displays.

This report describes the findings of a study in symbol legibility which investigated the reading time and errors for common five-letter words when they are projected by a solid stroke and when they are shown by a broken stroke. The latter was produced on a 945-line TV monitor at 10, 7, and 5 active lines per symbol height. This study is similar to an earlier report on the readability of common...

The legibility of standard Leroy alphanumeric symbols was compared with a new font, the Lincoln/MITRE (L/M) font. Legibility was tested by having human subjects attempt to identify the symbols when seen one at a time for a brief exposure period. The results showed the L/M font to be more legible than the standard Leroy. It is recommended that the two fonts be compared in a similar test on a TV ...
