For large amounts of text for continuous reading, sometimes referred to as 'text type',
avoid using typefaces that are too heavy or too light. A font that is too light cannot
be easily distinguished from its background. Conversely, a font that is too heavy is
less legible, as the thickness of the stroke diminishes the size of the counterspaces,
making the letterform less recognizable. Some typefaces have what is termed a book
weight. This is a medium-weight font that attempts to strike a balance between the
extremes of bold and light and is more suited to large amounts of copy, both printed
and on screen.
