Preferred term

reading typography  

Definition

  • The configuration of text rendered by printed, mechanical, or electronic means encompasses most of what we call typography. Typography may have an impact on legibility, the ease with which strings of letter forms can be decoded into words by a competent reader, and it may serve to supplement or support the semantic content of a text communication.
