The effects of Chinese typeface design, stroke weight, and contrast polarity on glance based legibility
Modern interfaces increasingly rely on screens filled with digital text to display information to users. Previous research has shown that even relatively subtle differences in the design of the on-screen typeface can influence to-device glance time in a measurable and meaningful way (Reimer et al., 2014). Here we outline a methodology for rapidly and flexibly investigating the legibility of typ...
متن کاملUtilising psychophysical techniques to investigate the effects of age, typeface design, size and display polarity on glance legibility
Psychophysical research on text legibility has historically investigated factors such as size, colour and contrast, but there has been relatively little direct empirical evaluation of typographic design itself, particularly in the emerging context of glance reading. In the present study, participants performed a lexical decision task controlled by an adaptive staircase method. Two typefaces, a ...
متن کاملPerformance Differences Between Times and Helvetica in a Reading Task
Typographersand printers often regard seriffed or roman typefaces as more legible and appropriate for reading material than typefaces without serifs. Authors contend that readers prefer roman above sans serif, that it is read faster, and that the comprehension rate is possibly higher when text is set in a roman typeface. The absence of satisfactory empirical data to prove these assumptions, and...
متن کاملLabel Legibility Influenced by Different Number of White Ink Layers
Original scientific paper A different number of white ink layers printed with the inkjet technology can influence the legibility of prints. Therefore, we tested how to achieve best legibility of printed text and labelling information, considering the changes in colorimetric and typographic properties. The prints were made with an inkjet printer and three different numbers of white ink layers we...
متن کاملSerifs and font legibility
Using lower-case fonts varying only in serif size (0%, 5%, and 10% cap height), we assessed legibility using size thresholds and reading speed. Five percentage serif fonts were slightly more legible than sans serif, but the average inter-letter spacing increase that serifs themselves impose, predicts greater enhancement than we observed. RSVP and continuous reading speeds showed no effect of se...
