Extracted Abstract:
—Information design is intended to complete the combing and optimization of modern information, and convey the logic-based and image-based content to the people. In the Digital Age, information design relies on the computer technology in a great extent. In the design of information using large amounts of writing, the different proportions of individual character recognition and sentence reading coherent make different typeface design and selection. Compared to other designs, large amounts of information design concerns the writing composition of contents more than typeface design itself. Whether the information is processed and communicated appropriately is the design’s essence. The western mainstream computer typeface’s development has not only manifested close relation of Serif and Sans-serif in readability and readable aspect of information content from design angle, but also reflected influence of social development and technological progress to typeface change. Keywords—western mainstream computer typeface; the Digital Age; large amounts of information; information design I.
