Which text and font is more readable to you?

[MJ DeMarco]

There's an endless debate about which style of text is most readable online and in emails.

I thought it be a fun idea to actually take a poll of forum users.

Which email and font style do you find the easiest to read? Assume this was sent as an email, or read on your phone in a browser.

Option #1


Option #2



Option #3



Option #4


Option #5


Option #6

#6, feels more spacious, but it is also slightly bigger, which might skew my perception of it.

0/10 I can’t read any of the words in either of them.

#1 looks good

I really like #4, it conveys a friendly tone and the text isn't too spaced out.

No one can. Its a fantasy text of mc word!

This may skew the results as I have dyslexia, but I voted 6 as the easiest to read with a 3 being a close second.

2 was the most jarring.

Any of the sans serrif fonts you've selected are readable and seem to work.

I can’t really tell, can you swap the text to real words?

My gut feeling is 6 but I think that’s just because it’s bigger.

Size is probably more important than font.

Option #3 is the easiest on my eyes, though it could use some spacing at the top of the headings to make the sections more scannable.

I don't think going artsy with a serif font matches this forum, so that easily eliminates Option #2 and #5.

Here's a #3 #4 and #6 with actual words, stolen from the TMF website.

#6

I don't think there's anything wrong with it now, but if I was pushed, 5 I think, though I like 2 as well.

#4 looks good, but my old eye prefers #6.
I read it on the desktop btw.

The size of #6 makes it much easier to read.

 

[MJ DeMarco]

My favorites were #4 and #6 which suprisingly had done pretty well. Still taking votes! Interesting results!

 

[Caminsky]

I like 6, but my eyes suck, which probably plays a role.
