Instapaper founder Marco Arment once lamented that the KindleвЂ™s typography and layout engine was so bad, it felt like it only had a staff of one person вЂњ whoвЂ™s only allowed to work on it for a few weeks each year.вЂќ ThatвЂ™s apparently not true: Amazon tells me that the Kindle team is significantly larger than just one dude, although they refuse to give exact numbers. And in my testing, I thought it was even more pleasant than Palatino, the typeface I previously used on my Kindle. While BookerlyвЂ™s not an entirely new typefaceвЂ“Amazon silently soft-launched it on the Kindle Fire earlier this year, a development only a few people noticedвЂ“itвЂ™s a lovely font. Bookerly even includes some lovely ligatures that makes reading on the Kindle feel more like printed typography, like the way the terminal on a lower case вЂfвЂ™ will replace the tittle on the lower case вЂiвЂ™, if they are right next to each other. Read Bookerly at much larger font sizes, and some of the fonts delicate touches are allowed to shine: for example, the delicate way the upper arm almost licks the stem of the lower case вЂkвЂ™. That may seem like a small improvement, but spread that 2% across millions of Kindle users and billions of pages of e-reading, and it all starts to add up. According to AmazonвЂ™s internal tests, that means itвЂ™s about 2% easier on the eye.

No matter what screen youвЂ™re on, Bookerly was designed from the ground-up to be even more readable that Caecilia.
