When using uppercase and lowercase, which use ascenders and descenders, the words’ shapes are more distinctive and recognizable therefore, this is considered more readable than using only capital letters. You might wonder why there is a difference between using uppercase and lowercase and using all caps when it comes to legibility. If the font is displayed at 10 inches, it will be visible from 290 feet and 250 feet, if uppercase and lowercase or all caps, respectively. For example, according to this chart, when we use black Helvetica on a white background, its capitals set at 1 inch, it should be legible from 29 feet (if it’s uppercase and lowercase) or 25 feet (if it’s all capitals). ![]() A title card with an LI of 29 means that the font-when its capitals are 1-inch high-should be legible at a distance of 29 feet. In Table 3.2, you can find a reference for a sans-serif font (Helvetica) and a slab-serif font (Clarendon). The United States Sign Council (USSC), through extensive research, has developed a Legibility Index (LI). Screen readability is determined by the font size, color, contrast between the font color and its background color, and the typeface. A viewer sitting in the last row will have to employ a narrower cone of vision head movements are minimal, giving the eyes the entire job of deciphering the information onscreen. A viewer sitting in the front row will have to use a wider cone of vision to detect the entire surface of the screen eye and head movements will be necessary to follow the action and type on the screen, and the close proximity to the screen will result in image distortion. In a 30-degree cone of vision, a viewer sees 15 degrees from the right eye and 15 degrees from the left eye, for a total of 30 degrees view angle. A typical cone of vision for a spectator in a movie theater or screening room is between 30 and 60 degrees total view angle. The screen’s dimensions and the distance from the viewer to the screen are also relevant factors. While designing title cards, designers should keep in mind the viewer’s cone of vision. You will have to test each of your project’s font sizes and screen times use your common sense, experience, judgment, and client requirements and know how your project will be distributed (online only, in theaters, or via some other method). What is important to understand is that there are no set-in-stone rules about readability. In using 3D typefaces, especially if they are embedded in a 3D environment, give them slightly more screen time than 2D fonts. The audience is sitting still, but their head and eye movements, the type’s animation, and the screen time often affect the way the audience identifies words and processes them.įor example, titles that face the viewer, displayed in 2D (as opposed to 3D) characters, allow for quick readability. Readability depends on a variety of factors. If the titles are unreadable, the information and messages don’t come across, and that can obviously cause frustration for the viewer-or even cause you to lose a client. ![]() Often overlooked and viewed as a secondary and less-relevant value compared to the coolness of a font or a particular layout, readability is an aspect of design that absolutely should not be overlooked. Now that we’ve explored some type flavors, we need to address a key component of successful typographical use: readability. ![]()
