The effects of Chinese typeface design, stroke weight, and contrast polarity on glance based legibility
This study examines aspects of the legibility of Chinese digital typography. Legibility was measured as the amount of time needed to read text accurately. Typeface style, weight, and contrast polarity were compared across two studies. Hei-style type, set in bold weight in positive contrast was the most legible. Findings have implications for optimal rendering of text on digital displays.
