Real World Data For Graphic Designers... Free From Monotype

Paula Frederick

I attended my first webinar by the type foundry Monotype. The subject nabbed me: Designing for Split-Second Clarity: “how people read, the design and environmental factors that affect their ability to accurately read text in quick-glance scenarios, what we’ve been learning through our research with MIT’s AgeLab, and how these insights could change how designers use fonts.” What couldn’t I learn? It’s an evergreen topic. The whole of graphic design is about clarity: effectively organizing information, communicating visually, supporting the larger message, all that. Everything I learn improves my skills and makes it easier on viewers, my clients, and myself. And I did. I learned a lot.

I’m too busy putting it to good use to write up a summary of the data presented by Monotype’s UK legibility expert Dr. Nadine Chahine. But do check out their webinars for yourself. Transcripts are available at monotype.com/expertise/articles. (At the time of this writing Split-Second Clarity isn’t up. But will be.) If you follow @Monotype on Twitter they’ll notify you in time to sign up for upcoming live webinars, which, have I mentioned, are free.

Happy designing!
