Abstract

To design a legible text on a multi information display (MID), readability of the text typography, such as character style, character distance and line space were examined by a reading task. The sentence of the reading object on the display was indicated intermittently, that was simulated driver's behavior to watch the MID while driving, and the time-length to read was measured. After the experiment, subjective comparative evaluation of impression to text typography was performed. The readability of a contextual sentence and meaningless texts were compared, and an influence of different text typography on the readability was examined.
