  • Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division: Second Judicial Department
    Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division: Second Judicial Department A GLOSSARY OF TERMS FOR FORMATTING COMPUTER-GENERATED BRIEFS, WITH EXAMPLES The rules concerning the formatting of briefs are contained in CPLR 5529 and in § 1250.8 of the Practice Rules of the Appellate Division. Those rules cover technical matters and therefore use certain technical terms which may be unfamiliar to attorneys and litigants. The following glossary is offered as an aid to the understanding of the rules. Typeface: A typeface is a complete set of characters of a particular and consistent design for the composition of text, and is also called a font. Typefaces often come in sets which usually include a bold and an italic version in addition to the basic design. Proportionally Spaced Typeface: Proportionally spaced type is designed so that the amount of horizontal space each letter occupies on a line of text is proportional to the design of each letter, the letter i, for example, being narrower than the letter w. More text of the same type size fits on a horizontal line of proportionally spaced type than a horizontal line of the same length of monospaced type. This sentence is set in Times New Roman, which is a proportionally spaced typeface. Monospaced Typeface: In a monospaced typeface, each letter occupies the same amount of space on a horizontal line of text. This sentence is set in Courier, which is a monospaced typeface. Point Size: A point is a unit of measurement used by printers equal to approximately 1/72 of an inch.

  • 15 the Effect of Font Type on Screen Readability by People with Dyslexia
    The Effect of Font Type on Screen Readability by People with Dyslexia LUZ RELLO and RICARDO BAEZA-YATES, Web Research Group, DTIC, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain Around 10% of the people have dyslexia, a neurological disability that impairs a person’s ability to read and write. There is evidence that the presentation of the text has a significant effect on a text’s accessibility for people with dyslexia. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no experiments that objectively 15 measure the impact of the typeface (font) on screen reading performance. In this article, we present the first experiment that uses eye-tracking to measure the effect of typeface on reading speed. Using a mixed between-within subject design, 97 subjects (48 with dyslexia) read 12 texts with 12 different fonts. Font types have an impact on readability for people with and without dyslexia. For the tested fonts, sans serif , monospaced, and roman font styles significantly improved the reading performance over serif , proportional, and italic fonts. On the basis of our results, we recommend a set of more accessible fonts for people with and without dyslexia. Categories and Subject Descriptors: H.5.2 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: User Interfaces— Screen design, style guides; K.4.2 [Computers and Society]: Social Issues—Assistive technologies for per- sons with disabilities General Terms: Design, Experimentation, Human Factors Additional Key Words and Phrases: Dyslexia, learning disability, best practices, web accessibility, typeface, font, readability, legibility, eye-tracking ACM Reference Format: Luz Rello and Ricardo Baeza-Yates. 2016.

  • Choosing Fonts – Quick Tips
    Choosing Fonts – Quick Tips 1. Choose complementary fonts – choose a font that matches the mood of your design. For business cards, it is probably best to choose a classic font. *Note: These fonts are not available in Canva, but are in the Microsoft Office Suite. For some good Canva options, go to this link – https://www.canva.com/learn/canva-for-work-brand-fonts/ Examples: Serif Fonts: Sans Serif Fonts: Times New Roman Helvetica Cambria Arial Georgia Verdana Courier New Calibri Century Schoolbook 2. Establish a visual hierarchy – Use fonts to separate different types of information and guide the reader - Use different fonts, sizes, weights (boldness), and even color - Example: Heading (Helvetica, SZ 22, Bold) Sub-heading (Helvetica, SZ 16, Italics) Body Text (Garamond, SZ 12, Regular) Captions (Garamond, SZ 10, Regular 3. Mix Serifs and Sans Serifs – This is one of the best ways to add visual interest to type. See in the above example how I combined Helvetica, a sans serif font, with Garamond, a serif font. 4. Create Contrast, Not Conflict: Fonts that are too dissimilar may not pair well together. Contrast is good, but fonts need a connecting element. Conflict Contrast 5. Use Fonts from the Same Family: These fonts were created to work together. For example, the fonts in the Arial or Courier families. 6. Limit Your Number of Fonts: No more than 2 or 3 is a good rule – for business cards, choose 2. 7. Trust Your Eye: These are not concrete rules – you will know if a design element works or not! .

  • Perceived Legibility of Onscreen English Fonts: an Exploration Into Readers and Font Types
    Perceived Legibility of Onscreen English Fonts: An Exploration into Readers and Font Types Dr. Chatpong Tangmanee, Chulalongkorn Business School, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand Thanaphorn Rotworaphorn, Chulalongkorn Business School, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand ABSTRACT Onscreen English fonts have a critical role in communicating information. Although there has been research into the legibility of these fonts, no study has yet explored font legibility in the context of ethnicity across font types. The present study attempts to fill this void. 402 Thai and non-Thai participants completed questionnaires that displayed texts using serif, sans serif and script fonts. The analysis revealed that Thai and non-Thai readers’ perception of font legibility are similar. Comparing between the two ethnicities, the differences in perceived legibility of the serif and script fonts are statistically significant however the difference when compared to the sans serif was not significant. In addition, Thai readers perceived significantly different degrees of legibility among the three fonts. Yet, non-Thai readers perceived legibility of the serif and the sans serif fonts to be about the same but significantly different from the script font. In addition to extending theoretical insights into digital typography across two groups of viewers, practitioners could adopt the findings and use the onscreen English fonts that enhance viewers’ legibility Keywords: Perceived legibility; Onscreen English fonts; Thai and Non-Thai readers; Serif; Sans serif; Script INTRODUCTION An onscreen English font is a set of English characters on a computer monitor of a certain design. A font is conceptually different from a typeface. In traditional typography, a font refers to a complete character set of a single size and style of a given typeface.
