-Some typefaces are inherently more legible than others, such as those with distinct shapes for “1,” capital “i,” and lowercase “l” (1Il); or “0”, capital “O,” and lowercase “o” (0Oo).

 Legibility is a necessary prerequisite to readability; by affecting legibility, these factors also affect the readability of any [type](/glossary/type). A typeface rendered at a very small size will not be legible or readable. Increasing the font size will eventually make it legible, but it may not make it readable. For example, people may be able to read the text, but not comfortably—such as in a dense block of legal “small print.”
