What is the difference between legibility and readability?

Answer 1

Legibility deals with that you can make out what's written down (clearly printed text vs. a doctor's handwriting for example).

Readability deals with how it's written down and how easy it is to read (simple vs. complex sentences for example).

Answer 2

Legibility refers to how easily individual characters can be distinguished, while readability refers to how easily words, sentences, and overall content can be understood and comprehended. Legibility is about the clarity of individual letters and characters, while readability is about the overall coherence and organization of text.
