“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

-- Steve Krug, Don't Make Me Think, p. 136

Bender, Walter, Crespo, Ruth Ann, Kennedy, Peter J. and Oakley, Richard (1987): CRT Typeface Design and Evaluation. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1311-1314.

“Reading text from a video display screen is a relatively new modality of human communication. This new technology presents advantages and limitations never considered in the design of typefaces for printed communication. It is well know that people read faster from printed text than from a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT). This paper discussed some of the current work to improve CRT readability. Specifically, we have developed software to be used by a typography designer to design anti-aliased (or "grayscale") CRT typefaces. A new anti-aliased typeface was designed and tested for readability. It was found that readability was significantly improved with this new typeface. This paper describes some of our recent work in this area. The typeface design software and examples of text rendered in a new typeface will be demonstrated on an analog color display.”
