Reading newspapers

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.

What do we have here?

Article Abstract:

Types designed for newspapers must take reproduction problems into account as every newspaper is different. The difference is due to the different typesetting equipment, plate making systems, presses and paper used. Typesetting, which is subjective, is aimed to make the text legible and readable.
