Two serif fonts legibility is compared with Times New Roman
This study examined six new ClearType fonts developed by Microsoft. These were compared to some of the traditional fonts used today for business documents, email and websites. Participants were presented individual characters from each font at very short duration and asked to verbally identify the character. The article reports the findings of the serif fonts only: Times New Roman, Cambria and Constantia.
Results also show that the legibility, as measured by the number of correct identifications of briefly presented characters, was highest for the new font Cambria, followed by Constantia, and then Times New Roman.
