Happy Christmas. I don’t celebrate it.
A 3-year-old deaf child meets Santa. He signs. She becomes legible.

Users noted that for Two Slice to work, the "vocabulary" must be small & highly predictable. Think status indicators or very specific prompts, not general prose. Our brains fill in the gaps with familiar patterns. 🧠 #Legibility 3/6
So thrilled to be part of such a worldwide event, speaking on my favourite subject.
Thanks for having me @wpaccessibility.day !

A visual explanation (from our old Web Style Guide, Lynch & Horton, 2016), on why narrow columns of text enhance reading comprehension.

I wonder why 👀 #legibility
Color photo of a sign that appears to read “We come!” in different colors for each character. Looking closely you can see that there is an “l” and “!” character in yellow against the yellow background. The intended message is “Welcome!!”
Welcome! As I tell my design students, think carefully about having a good value contrast when choosing text and background colors. You don’t want your message to be misunderstood. #legibility #design #color #accessibility
![Screenshot of an excerpt from Section 5, Discussion:
In response to the research questions posed in Section II, we find that identifier style significantly affects time and visual effort needed to correctly detect identifiers constructed from a phrase. The underscore style is significantly faster and positively influences the dependent variables. In the Binkley et al. study [4], Phrase Length did not interact with Style, however we find such an interaction in our analysis. The common theme in both experiments is that camel-cased identifiers take longer than underscored ones (13.5% in the previous study and 20% in this study) overall. In the Binkley et al. study, higher accuracy was found for camel-cased identifiers, however, in our study, all (except one) subjects answered correctly on all questions making accuracy comparisons irrelevant.
In our study, no interaction effects were found between the Experience secondary factor and the independent variable Style. The previous study found Training (vis-à-vis Experience in our study) to significantly interact with Style affecting the time to find an identifier. Their findings indicate that subjects trained in the camel-case style take less time to identify a camel-cased identifier than an underscore identifier.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ksfbeqnbalooi3dnn7see7mr/bafkreiektmm74p6dz7dac3q6ejlsl6jlfjngod6wvjybgfn6ko5xhxn6tm)

The image displays a brochure from the Braille Institute, featuring various sections with text and illustrations. The brochure is laid out in a tri-fold format, with the main section titled "Make Reading Possible." This section includes a heading, a list of eligibility criteria, and a call to action, encouraging readers to enjoy books in a new way. The text is accompanied by illustrations of books, a person reading, and a Braille cell, emphasizing the institute's focus on accessible reading. The left section of the brochure discusses "Living Well with Vision," featuring a photograph of two people, one holding a smartphone, and text about the Braille Institute's services. The top section includes a quote from a Braille Institute Library School graduate, highlighting the institute's impact on individuals with visual disabilities.

#GameUIFridays 4/4/25 - The YouTube channel Juniper Dev did a video about fonts in games. Specifically, she talks about typography, which is the art of arranging text for legibiliy and visual appeal. Do you notice fonts in the games you play? 🎮U👁️

A paragraph of text in black, red and blue. Each line ends with a particular color, and the next line starts with that same color, fading into a different color across the line. The paragraph reads: Suffering from screen fatigue? We’re here to help! BeeLine Reader makes reading on-screen easier, faster, and more enjoyable. We use a simple cognitive trick — an eye-guiding color gradient — to pull your eyes through long blocks of text. This helps you read more effectively and maintain your focus better.
Two years ago at #CSUN I learned about what became my favorite browser extension, BeeLine Reader. I've been a subscriber ever since.
It's easy to set up on desktop, but has been some struggle to get working on Android. But this week I discovered it works with […]

sample of the slab serif typeface "Crete Round" from Google Fonts, showing the clear distinction between letters and numbers that are often confused in sans serif typefaces.
This problem of 1lI ('one' 'ell' 'eye')can be solved with almost any slab serif typeface.
