lesbarer

Lesbarer is the comparative form of the German adjective lesbar, meaning readable or legible. It is used to compare how easy something is to read, typically applied to text, fonts, layouts, or interfaces. For example, "Dieser Text ist lesbarer als jener" or "Eine lesbarere Schrift erhöht die Lesbarkeit." The neutral, standard superlative is "am lesbarsten." The noun form "Lesbarkeit" denotes readability as a quality or criterion, while "lesbar" can also modify nouns in attributive use, as in "eine lesbare Schrift" (a readable font).

In practice, the term appears in typography, UI/UX design, and editing to discuss and improve legibility. When aiming for higher readability, designers consider factors such as font size, line length, contrast, and spacing, all of which influence how "lesbar" a text is.

The concept is closely related to readability studies and metrics and is connected with broader German terms such as Lesbarkeit, Typografie, and Barrierefreiheit (accessibility). While primarily a linguistic descriptor, the idea behind "lesbarer" informs practical decisions in publishing, digital design, and content production, where clear communication and ease of reading are prioritized.
