This source was surprisingly insightful regarding various misunderstandings that even I \u2014 someone who suffers from accessibility issues regarding my adhd and its negative interaction with various typefaces \u2014 believed. For instance, the myth that essentially created my motivation for this project \u2014 that serif fonts are inaccessible. That stated, however, the failing of this article in my opinion is that it primarily if not solely addresses typography from the reading<\/em> perspective, not the writing<\/em> perspective. For instance, it talks at length about the accessibility provided by screen readers, however \u2014\u00a0while this is a fantastic tool for many \u2014 this won\u2019t assist me or many like me when attempting to write<\/em> in a specific typeface for an assignment. That quarrel aside, there were many highly valuable notes about factors other than just typeface that are important for accessible typography design, \u201cincluding size, color, justification, letter spacing, word spacing, line spacing, character thickness, screen resolution, print readiness, and other audience and media issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typography For Lawyers (2nd Edition) is a resource printed by Brian A. Garner (A Lawyer and Writer) and Matthew Butteric (An American Typographer). It was created to attempt to improve the state of typography within the legal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this source is brief, I investigated this source in attempts to find out why Times New Roman (hereafter referred to as \u201cTNR\u201d) is such a universal standard for typography. It was an interesting read for sure, like learning the history of why the font is thinner than other fonts due to its daily newspaper conception. That said, I really wish this short article continued as it concluded abruptly right as it began to address my learning objective; ending on a paragraph about to NOT USE IT if you\u2019re given the choice, then not explaining why. Oh well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gareth Ford Williams is the head of UX design at the BBC, with a stated speciality and focus on User Accessibility and “Universality”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This source was an incredibly useful read as \u2014 while I am familiar with many accessibility issues within typography \u2014 this covered a wide range of issues on a level deeper than simply \u201cSerifs are bad\u201d or \u201cSerifs are good\u201d \u2014 speaking to specific ways that various ability differences interpret various assets of a typeface. This source breaks down many of these factors through explanation of the development of one of their own typefaces, BBC Reith and Qalam<\/em>, wherein they used neuroscientists and psychologists to vet the accessibility of the typeface at every step.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jennifer M. Wood appears to be a bit informal of a source, but is a lead editor at MentalFloss, and has previously been a writer for WIRED, Rolling Stone, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article, while comparatively informal, was wildly interesting and brings up the longitude of the debate I hope to focus on: Is Times New Roman an innately poor choice to standardize? It references a variety of studies that show that a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 written in Times New Roman is more likely to be ignored, in addition to general other typography styles that will get ignored or represent oneself poorly. While not entirely relevant to my topic ideal, the studies it referenced may be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
