Design Research Documentation 4 - Typography


It is vital to choose a typeface with well-defined contours and generous space between letters which gives a warm and inviting feeling for children. This is because most of the children learn to read by going letter by letter until they are able to make sense of an entire word.

Also, it is common to use sans serif fonts in applications for children due to their fresh look and simplicity. It is advisable to stay away from distorted, decorative, or cursive letterforms.
