Reading Rate With RSVP is Affected by Font at a Low Luminance But Not at a High Luminance

Abstract

Miles A. Tinker defined legibility as the perception of letters, words and continuous text for reading: “The shapes of letters must be discriminated, the characteristic word forms perceived, and continuous text read accurately, rapidly, easily, and with understanding. In the final analysis, one wants to know what typographical factors foster ease and speed of reading” (Tinker, 1963).
