Are certain fonts easier to read than others? Is Comic Sans the perfect email font? Join Kevin Larson, PhD, nerd, of Microsoft's Advanced Reading Technologies Group to discover how optical illusions in some popular fonts make text easier to read, and how the design and appearance of text can make you more cognitively creative.

Kevin Larson is a researcher on Microsoft’s Advanced Reading Technologies team. He works with type designers, psychologists, and computer scientists on improving the on-screen reading experience. Recently Kevin has been working on the legibility of individual letters, both studying how to design letters within a font, and working with models of human vision to optimize letter rendering. His PhD work at the University of Texas was on reading acquisition, and he can sometimes be found at The Pacific Science Center giving talks on topics such as electrons, learning theory, and El Niño.
