Making Maps Easy to Read: Map Typography


& August 2004

“This part of the research project consists of a series of experiments on the legibility of type on maps. We argue that a search task is one of the best method for evaluating map typography and we have been able to formulate some practical recommendations on typography for the map designer. Additional experiments on type on maps are reported in the section on Eye Movement Recording.” (Thanks Make Ready!)
