Abstract
Electronic documentation is gaining importance in aviation and
medicine. However, the literature on typographic conventions is rather
scattered. Therefore, this systematic literature review examined the landscape
of literature addressing typography in electronic documentation in aviation and
medicine. The research examined the presence of typographic considerations,
level of depth, choice of medium and documentation examples. The results
demonstrate that out of 65 publications, 35 address typography in varying depth
and often rely on inherited misconceptions. Typographic conventions are
transferred from physical to electronic mediums without questioning and remain
undervalued. These findings highlight the need for improved legibility in
electronic documentation.
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.
