Background : This study examines thedevelopment and commercialization of a font based on the universal designtheory. The font uses a horizontaland vertical alignment that can be read by the visually impaired, a group whichhas previously been ignored by font designers. Forforeigners, children, andthe visuallyimpaired, similarfonts can be hard to distinguish when reading and writing with the existing Japanese typeset. We therefore looked at Iwata’s UD font, which is easier to read than existing UD fonts. In addition, this study is the first attempt to explore the development of a UD font aimed specifically at increased legibilityand which can also be combined with textbook development forthe visually impaired. The study also provides relevant institutions and firms with fundamental data on the benefits of UD fonts.
Methods : Most information about UD font development in this study has been collected from three organizations: Morisawa Inc., a Japanese font company: Iwata Corporation, and Jiyu Kobo. Motoya,Typebank, Iwata Corporation, which manufactured the first commercial UD fonts on the market, provided data to explain the sample font that is used as a fundamental building block in the development of UD fonts. The company also allowed us to look at different examples of font designand development. These examples include the display of fonts in printed materialand on digital screen displays for PCs and mobile devices. Using representative UD fonts, we examined which fonts are more or less easily read in different contexts; we also looked at different cases to show how design can be used to alleviate discomfort in reading.
Results : This study investigates how to design and produce fonts that are suitable for the visually impaired in Japan. It also examines the approach and design methods used by font developers prior to the development of Iwata’s UD font by summarizing relevant cases. Currently, Japan uses Chinese characters, Hiragana and Katakana; Korea uses Hangul and Chinese characters; and China uses Chinese characters and simplified characters. As the font structure (font type and glyph) of Chinese characters is the same in all three countries, the fundamental design elements can also be shared. UD font designs for the general population, the visually impaired (mainly those with amblyopia and lowvision), and older people with weak vision are also discussed in this paper. The results will be shared with China and Korea.
Conclusion : The anticipated outcome of this study can be summarized as follows. First, the development of the Hangul UD font,with its increased readability, reinforces learning effects by decreasing user fatigue. Because of its distinctiveness, the font can deliver more information in a smaller space compared with existing fonts; it can also be used for small screens such as those found on mobile devices. Secondly, the developed font will be widely used not just by the visually impaired, but also by the general population because it is easy to read. In addition, this font can meet the special needs of groups such as the elderly. Thirdly, the research makes suggestions that may helpinthe future development of a font capable of incorporating typography compatible with both the Hangul and the Roman alphabets as well as offering an easily readable font design and typography for people with amblyopia in an aging society. Fourthly, this research examines fonts that can be customized to meet the textbook printing needs of special schools for the visually impaired, the hearing impaired, and the mentally impaired. In addition, through investigation and review, Iwata’s new UD font is expected to be useful in diverse fields including education for amblyopic or low-vision students, and people with multiple disabilities where textbooks and teaching methods are attuned to each individual’s disability characteristics and developmental stage.
