The purpose of this study was to determine the legibility of symbols formed from matrices which contained different numbers of dot elements. A set of alphanumeric symbols was constructed from each of the following dot matrices: 3x5, 5x7, 7x 11, and 9 x 15. The four symbol, sets were shown for identification to one group of operators under nearly optimal viewing conditions and to a second group ...

urban landscapes form the main parts of the city. one of these spaces is urban streets, in whichsocial interactions and urban vitality reach its maximum quality and quantity. one of the principles and properties ofurban landscape design is its intelligibility. a viewer who takes a look at an intelligible city and knows it can attract newemotional manifestations of city without damaging its orig...

Visual processing of individual characters within a word can interfere with one another thereby decreasing word legibility. This largely results from the lateral interference occurring in the retina and the primary visual cortex, with the distance over which it operates largely fixed in size. Analysis of previous data demonstrates that the default spacing for 10 and 12 pt font is just large eno...

Introduction Symbol (i.e., "pictorial") highway signs yield legibility distances which are on average twice as great as those achieved for their text sign counterparts. However, the relative superiority of symbol signs is neither uniform nor universal. Some symbol signs are legible from 3-times as far away while other poorly designed symbol signs can be recognized at only half the distance of t...
