What is the effect of a “screen-friendly” typeface? Name at least three characteristics that make a font screen-friendly.

The strokes that make up the letters are a little heavier. The letters are slightly larger, in width and height. The x-height is slightly greater. There is less variation between thin and thick strokes in the characters. The end result is that a screen friendly font is more legible on a computer screen, even at smaller sizes.
