    Other broadcast legibility tips:

    • Light text on a dark background is slightly easier to read on television
    • Text on screen needs looser leading than in print
    • When technically possible, tracking should be increased by up to 30%
    • A full screen of text should contain a rough maximum of 90 words (45 if accompanied by motion video)
    • Text should be broken into small chunks that can be read almost instantly
