Poor font choice for the book body - very hard to read.

Excellent content, great layout, thoughtful organization, BUT, dear authors, who chose/approved the Vitesse font?

The book font choice is a terrible oversight and goes against basic readability/legibility principles. The body text seems to be in Vitesse Light and is very hard to read - the letters are too thin and are floating, making reading a real effort. To add insult to injury, the case study sections are in reverse text (white letters on black background) and the same skinny letters blend in and are practically illegible! The Hints and Tips sections are in Vitesse Book it seems and that is much better, but reading the majority of the book is a struggle. I do not need reading glasses but had to move the book away and then close again to find focus. On the pages where the font is bigger, like the Introduction section, it is easier to read but still too light.

This is very unfortunate because the content of the book is wonderful - informative, contemporary, and innovative.
If the next edition would have a more appropriate font, I would certainly use it as a text in my class.

The text provides a good overview of and introduction to Info Design. It is clearly written and the sections are broken down in a concise manner with enough coverage of each portion. The example provided are appropriate and easy to understand. The layout of the book is well done with appropriate line line and spacing around each element. However, it is a challenge to read the text. The typeface, Vitesse, is too light and the word spacing is too tight, making it challenging to move through each word without effort.
