Legibility is a fundamental aspect of both graphic design and typography. Unlike readability, though which is focussed on the characteristic of the overall text, legibility refers only to the clarity of single characters of type. While the two are distinct, they are related and should be considered together – specifically when selecting a typeface for a particular role or function.

DESIGN CULTURE
From a designer’s perspective research is one of the most important stages of any creative project. It provides a knowledge foundation to inform the shape and form of any creative solution it helps establish where a product, service, space or event wishes to locate itself – within an existing, emerging or brand new market it qualifies the shape, form, material and platform for a design solution – and defines who the target audience is, and (importantly for commercial value) what and where the competition is.
