This study aims to investigate the effect of font type, font size, line spacing and text background colour on visual search of “a predetermined word”. The study used a multifactorial experiment with four factors and 48 combinations. A number of 20 female undergraduate students participated in this study and their response time for each treatment combination was recorded. Anova test results showed that there were significant effect of font type (F=2.72, p=0.042) and font size (F=8.14, p=0.004) to the response time of subject. Further analysis using ANOM chart showed that verdana for font type and 12 pt for font size provide the fastest response time. Results of this study could be used by web designers for the production of web pages so that it will optimize interaction with the users.
