Character Readability is a design construct in character design that denotes the clarity and immediacy with which a character's form, function, personality, and narrative role can be perceived and interpreted by an audience, distinguishing it from related design principles through its focus on visual and semiotic legibility across diverse contexts and viewing conditions.
