The studies I’ve seen about readability and legibility tend to focus on a specific set of metrics: size, not just the point size, but things like the size of the lower case letters as a proportion of the overall letter height, and line length.

Or bends with the remover to remove.

I have a fear of heights that borders on mania.

To me, that’s her at the height of her powers.
