Font Size
Users may have difficulty reading small text, seeing
small objects or targeting small icons and controls with
a mouse.
Small fonts can cause eye-strain and make reading
difficult or impossible for many users.
Screen elements with fixed sizes may be too small on
high-resolution displays or exceed the screen size on
small, hand-held devices.

Text should be kept to a minimum unless the
application includes a great deal of reference material.

difficult and tiring.
From a design standpoint, text should fill less than half

Make It Readable
Although a decorative font maybe attractive but it may also hard to read.
The size of text depends on the application.
Heading and subheadings are used to attract attention and provide the user with quick identification of the screen contents, while text blocks provide the substance.

Consider Type Styles and Colors
Three common type styles are bold, italic, and
underline.
These styles are often used for emphasis in print
materials.
In multimedia applications, however, there are more
often used to indicate hypertext, or hot words.
