Description

In recent years, our society has increasing elderly peoples. Accordingly, many kinds of UD (Universal Design) Fonts that have legibility for elderly and handicapped persons have been developed for various printed matter and signs. However, conventional UD Fonts are not suitable for low resolution printers. Many of the insurance and banking forms are printed in low resolution printers. Thus conventional UD Fonts could not contribute to improve legibility for elderly and handicapped persons in financial communications. In this study, we developed UCDA Font as new UD Font for use in insurance and banking forms with low resolution printers that has high legibility under the situation of difficulty in viewing. In the development of UCDA Font, we complied with ISO13407 human-centered design process and based on the usability studies of (in particularly insurance) some financial forms by using word mining. We evaluated UCDA Font in three testing method. The first evaluation is IPO Test that is a new evaluation method for legibility for fonts under the situation of difficulty in viewing. The second evaluation is subjective evaluation test. The third test is a behavioral science test. As a result, we confirmed that the UCDA Font has met the goal of development.
