- tech-no-logical 13y agoseriously, why ? are our eyes getting worse ? have centuries of publishers gotten it wrong all this time, and should everything have been 'large print' edition from the start ? I'm 40+ and I should probably wear glasses for reading, but I really don't 'get' the big font hype.
- redbad 13y agoI don't know about you, but I don't read a screen nearly as closely to my face as I read a book. If, for example, you normally read a screen at ~2x magazine distance, it stands to reason that screen type should be around ~2x bigger than magazine type, no? The best article I've seen on the subject is this one: http://ia.net/blog/100e2r/ http://ia.net/blog/100e2r/ And maybe follow-up with this one: http://ia.net/blog/responsive-typography-the-basics http://ia.net/blog/responsive-typography-the-basics
