What are the three variables that influence legibility for readers?
Legibility is determined by factors like font face, font size, and spacing (Lee, 2003). Typeface characters have effect on legibility by affecting the way that readers can discern words and letters.
Why is readability and legibility important?
Readability Creates Better Reading Experiences
Legibility is an informal measure of how easy it is to distinguish one letter from another in a particular typeface. Readability is about the reader – the ease with which a reader can successfully decipher, process, and make meaning of the text read.
What is legibility and readability?
Legibility is a necessary prerequisite to readability; by affecting legibility, these factors also affect the readability of any type. A typeface rendered at a very small size will not be legible or readable. Increasing the font size will eventually make it legible, but it may not make it readable.
