Abstract
Previous work has shown that letters presented in special fonts with a high degree of script style have a poor
recognition rate. We investigated whether there is a breaking point where this deficit sets in. In an experimental paradigm using
a three-letter string partial report, 32 participants were presented with test stimuli of four new fonts with gradually increasing
script style. The results of our investigation showed that each level of increasing script style resulted in significantly worse
recognition. These findings demonstrate that for maximum letter recognition, the font style should be based on simple and familiar
letter skeletons.
期刊介绍：
Information Design Journal (IDJ) is a peer reviewed international journal that bridges the gap between research and practice in information design. IDJ is a platform for discussing and improving the design, usability, and overall effectiveness of ‘content put into form’ — of verbal and visual messages shaped to meet the needs of particular audiences. IDJ offers a forum for sharing ideas about the verbal, visual, and typographic design of print and online documents, multimedia presentations, illustrations, signage, interfaces, maps, quantitative displays, websites, and new media. IDJ brings together ways of thinking about creating effective communications for use in contexts such as workplaces, hospitals, airports, banks, schools, or government agencies.
