Design is a dissemination of the author's research into typeface legibility.

What to consider when choosing fonts in difficult reading situations

including signage, small point sizes, glance-like reading or scanning? But

also what to look out for when designing for struggling readers, for example

people with low-vision, elderly, children and people with dyslexia.

This kind of research is normally communicated in scientific papers, which

takes a long time to read and understand. In this book, all findings are

presented in an illustrative and easily accessible way. The book has a small

amount of text and lots of illustrations presenting more than 140 tips from

evidence-based research.
