Tiresias (typeface)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tiresias is a family of sans-serif typefaces that were designed for best legibility by people with impaired vision at the Royal National Institute of the Blind in London. The research basis of Tiresias Screenfont’s legibility claims have been called into question.
The family includes
- Tiresias Infofont – for information labels, optimized for maximum legibility at a distance of 30–100 cm.
- Tiresias Keyfont – for labeling the tops of keys of keyboards, PIN pads, appliances, remote controls (features exaggerated punctuation marks)
- Tiresias LPfont – for large-print publications
- Tiresias PCfont – for raster displays
- Tiresias Screenfont – for television subtitling and on-screen user interfaces
- Tiresias Signfont – a more open spacing for use on signs
