title: Readability - where has it gone?
abstract: For the sake of innovation, new typographic devices and styles were introduced in recent years to printed materials that go contrary to the fundamentals of eye physiology and do violence to well-tested and established reading habits. If this trend continues, the saying "Johnny can't read" may have to be modified to "John, at age 50, does not want to read, he rather listens to a tape."
