noun readabilities
- The property of being capable of being read; legibility. When done correctly, kerning helps to improve the readability of text by adding or removing space between two letters. Bad kerning, also known as keming, leads to misreadings, and in the worst cases, incredibly bad (but humorous) misunderstandings.
- The property of being easy or engaging to read. The book had a clever plot, but lacked readability.
