Typography Legibility Testing
Typography Legibility Testing is a systematic method for evaluating how easily and accurately audiences can read typefaces in specific contexts. Pioneered by Miles A. Tinker in the mid-twentieth century, this pipeline combines perceptual metrics, user testing, and psychophysical measurement to ensure text achieves optimal clarity for its intended medium and audience.
