A designer in Vancouver is looking for 25 participants with low vision to help test the legibility of a font. Feedback sessions will be in person in Vancouver, last approximately 1 hour and take place between November 25 and December 13th. Sessions will include reading the font in various formats on an iPad. The study is being conducted by an American company aiming to improve their legibility and accessibility. Participants will be compensated with a $200 gift card. To participate, please email Tyler Hawkins: tyler.w.hawkins@gmail.com.

They’re looking for participants who:

• Have moderate visual impairment characterized by blurry vision, and visual acuity in the range of 20/70 to 20/160 in the better-seeing eye after correction.
• Have intact central vision and intact peripheral vision, meaning they should retain the ability to see objects directly in front of them without significant distortion or obstruction.
• Are between 18 and 70 years old.
