Article Abstract:
Legibility is a technical attribute of letter forms or typefaces that serves to describe the level of recognition of an individual letter and its degree of differentiation from other letters, while readability is much more subjective that serves to describe the aesthetic appearance, acceptance or rejection of that appearance. It is necessary to use types which express the qualities than types which reflect information design.
