Super passionnant! parfois difficile à suivre parce que je ne suis pas une experte en typographie. Mais c'est très intéressant de voir comment notre oeil travaille, comment est ce qu'on lit, etc., l'influence de l'écriture, de la forme des lettres... Quand on aime les livres et qu'on adore lire, c'est captivant!

The format of this book is fantastic and I loved how all of the chapters were well-cited. The scope was great, it was easy to read, and I am so glad that I was able to do so.

Excellent summary of legibility studies and analysis of how they correlate to typeface design.
