Abstract
How to make Japanese sentences readable by adjusting both character spacing and shapes has not yet been determined. A quantitative design for creating a readable composition of Japanese short sentences is described. In this design, character spacing is quantified by a measure of distance based on the theory of induction field in vision. To find the design indices for the readable composition, we made psychological experiments using two kinds of typical Japanese sentences. As a result, an optimum composition to make these sentences readable was found. The design can be used to compose sentences of a limited line length. A practical design procedure is shown with examples for it.
