Abstract

Previous work has shown that letters presented in special fonts with a high degree of script style have a poor recognition rate. We investigated whether there is a breaking point where this deficit sets in. In an experimental paradigm using a three-letter string partial report, 32 participants were presented with test stimuli of four new fonts with gradually increasing script style. The results of our investigation showed that each level of increasing script style resulted in significantly worse recognition. These findings demonstrate that for maximum letter recognition, the font style should be based on simple and familiar letter skeletons.

以往的研究表明，在具有高度字体风格的特殊字体中显示的字母识别率很低。我们研究了这种缺陷是否存在一个爆发点。在一个使用三字母字符串部分报告的实验范式中，32 名参与者接受了四种字体风格逐渐增强的新字体的测试刺激。我们的研究结果表明，字体风格每增加一级，识别能力就会明显降低。这些研究结果表明，要想最大限度地识别字母，字体风格应以简单而熟悉的字母骨架为基础。

期刊介绍： Information Design Journal (IDJ) is a peer reviewed international journal that bridges the gap between research and practice in information design. IDJ is a platform for discussing and improving the design, usability, and overall effectiveness of ‘content put into form’ — of verbal and visual messages shaped to meet the needs of particular audiences. IDJ offers a forum for sharing ideas about the verbal, visual, and typographic design of print and online documents, multimedia presentations, illustrations, signage, interfaces, maps, quantitative displays, websites, and new media. IDJ brings together ways of thinking about creating effective communications for use in contexts such as workplaces, hospitals, airports, banks, schools, or government agencies.
