摘要

摘要本研究考察了易读语言文本的常见排版建议是否有帮助。到目前为止，建议在14 pt中使用无衬线字体。统计评估表明，Thesis TheSans的阅读速度明显快于Arial。带有衬线的字体阅读速度略快。12字号的字体已经足够大了。这项研究清楚地表明，对易于阅读的语言文本严格使用无衬线字体(尤其是Arial字体)是错误的。这些结果可以作为设计师和客户在创建无障碍交流时的有效决策辅助。

The Influence of Fonts on the Reading Performance in Easy-to-Read Texts: A Legibility Study with 145 Participants

This study examines whether the common typographical recommendations for texts in easy-to-read language are helpful. So far, using a sans-serif font in 14 pt has been suggested. The statistical evaluation shows that Thesis TheSans is read significantly faster than Arial. Fonts with serifs are read slightly faster. The font size of 12 pt is large enough. The study clearly indicates that the strict commitment to sans serif fonts—and the Arial font in particular—for texts in easy-to-read language is wrong. The results can be used by designers and clients as a valid decision-making aid when creating barrier-free communication.
