My interdisciplinary research investigates effects of typographic variables (e.g. justification) on readability and language processing, using eye tracking and EEG techniques. In collaboration with the Institute of Book and Media Studies, an evidence-based perspective on current typographic practice is developed, taking into account the increasing importance of digital reading.
