readability

the degree to which the meaning of text is accessible, based on the complexity of sentences and the difficulty of the vocabulary that is used. Readability indexes usually rank usability by the age or grade level required for someone to be able to readily understand a reading passage. Note that readability should be contrasted with legibility, which indicates how clear the text is visually.
