Several years ago, Monotype and the MIT AgeLab set out to discover how glance-based legibility might impact the user experience in different digital environments.

Whether designing for a vehicle screen, a smartphone, a wearable, or an advertisement, this body of work has the potential to provide designers with actionable information, a data-driven way of balancing the ongoing trade-offs between what might be “absolutely” legible and what a given brand or design requires.

The latest research includes:

“An Evaluation of Typeface Design in a Text-Rich Automotive User Interface”
“Revealing Differences in Legibility Between Typefaces Using Psychophysical Techniques: Implications for Glance Time and Cognitive Processing”
“An Exploratory Psychophysical Investigation of the Relative Glance Legibility of Chinese Typefaces”
