- Readability
- Readability is the degree to which the meaning of text is understandable, based on the complexity of sentences and the difficulty of vocabulary. Indexes for readability usually rank usability by the age or grade level required for someone to be able to readily understand a reading passage.

By using relative units, these users are able to change the size of the text without much difficulty .For more information visit: Relative sizing.
