Abstract

Two forms of type face, Gothic Elite and Standard Elite, wore compared for readability (i) when the emphasis was on comprehension and (ii) when it was on speed. No significant difference was found between the reading times for the two typo faces when reading for comprehension but Standard proved superior to Gothic when speed was the more important. Possible reasons for these differing results under the two conditions are considered.
