CSS and Typography: Ways to Improve Readability

Posted by TimSlavin at February 4, 2006

"Typography isn’t an exact science, and like any aspect of design, it takes practice to select the right typefaces for the job and tweak them appropriately. This article can’t address how to design with type, but it can help you become more aware and explore the options available to you through CSS. With a little practice you can make your design easier to read and improve aesthetics."

A fairly thorough article from Digital Web that explores how to use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to improve accessibility of your web pages. Includes an interesting link to a Wichita State study that compares readable text in different layouts, as well as a link to a study examining the effects of white space in online reading.
