Legibility, Readability and Crowding
- 14 October 2009, FaVU, Brno
- As type designers when we talk about ‘legibility’ and ‘readability’ we often treat them as nearly equivalent terms. This talk is a proposal for a far more tightly defined definition of both terms. Coupled with this suggestion is an introduction to the psychological theory of “crowding” and an explanation of some of the ways it may be a relevant consideration to type design. The most significant way in which it relates is that it is a significant factor in parafoveal reading. The talk concludes with a concrete example of how type designers could integrate an awareness of crowding into their design process - simply and cheaply.
