One cannot overstate the importance of its publication online. I believe it will have a profound impact on web typography and typographic discourse online, but it would be just as fine if you find it useful for your thinking, practice, or research.
Legibility
Understanding the important role of typography in reading is a key subject that designers should know and learn about. Design for reading is an enormous responsibility that we should face and resolve correctly. In these pages you will find an explanation of how one reads, the movement of our eyes when we read, how we recognize words. You will find excellent material of a diverse nature and complexity that will help understand the basic princi- ples of typography, wrong ideas and practices that are common in the profession, and advanced concepts of reading on the screen supported by scientific research. The mastery detail of how to regard type is fully developed by Mary C. Dyson who has devoted her academic life to searching for answers and convey designers of her findings.
