Good typography is an important part of information architecture as it helps show hierarchy between headings and body text, supports different reading styles, and makes the text easier to read. It distinguishes headings from body text through variants of a typeface, aids skimming, jumping around and immersion. Additionally, clear typefaces reduce physical stress and improve comprehension by making word shapes recognizable.
