It describes the origins of serif and sans serif styles in ancient inscriptions, their adoption in modern printing techniques, and their legibility in different situations and in different populations of readers. It also examines recent research on the legibility of serif and sans serif typefaces when used with internet browsers, smartphones and other hand-held devices. The book investigates the difference in the legibility of serif typefaces and sans serif typefaces when they are used to produce printed material or when they are used to present material on computer monitors or other screens and it explores the differences in readers? preferences among typefaces. The book?s main focus is on the psychology of reading, but there are clear implications for education and publishing. Indeed, the book can be read with benefit by anyone concerned with communicating with others through written text, whether it is printed on paper or displayed on computer screens. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Education 606 $aLiteracy$2bicssc 606 $aLanguage: reference & general$2bicssc 606 $aTeaching of a specific subject$2bicssc 606 $aLlegibilitat$2thub 606 $aTipus d'impremta$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 610 $aLegibility of text 610 $aReading from paper 610 $aReading from screens 610 $aSans serif typefaces 610 $aSerif typefaces 610 $aTypography and typographic design 610 $aOpen Access 615 7$aLiteracy 615 7$aLanguage: reference & general 615 7$aTeaching of a specific subject 615 7$aLlegibilitat 615 7$aTipus d'impremta 676 $a686.224019 700 $aRichardson$b John T.
