AnnotationReading information from electronic screens now used by used by banks, transport systems and the like can be difficult, particularly for older people and those with low vision. This foldout brochure provides updated information about the Tiresias LPfont, a typeface designed to maximise character definition and legibility on screens, labelling and signage. The font was developed by the author together with other experts in the field of ophthalmology. The brochure outlines the effects of ageing on eyesight. The Tiresias typeface was originally designed in response to the need for improving the text for television subtitling. (KJ/RH).
