Situational visual impairments (SVIs) hinder mobile readability, causing discomfort and limiting information access. Building on prior work in adaptive typography and accessibility, this paper presents SituFont, a context-aware and human-in-the-loop adaptive typography adjustment approach that enhances smartphone mobile readability by dynamically adjusting font parameters based on real-time contextual changes. Using smartphone sensors and a human-in-the-loop approach, SituFont personalizes text presentation to accommodate personal factors (e.g., fatigue, distraction) and environmental conditions (e.g., lighting, motion, location). To inform its design, we conducted formative interviews (N=15) to identify key SVI factors and controlled experiments (N=18) to quantify their impact on optimal text parameters. A comparative user study (N=12) across eight simulated SVI scenarios demonstrated SituFont's effectiveness in improving smartphone mobile readability in terms of improved efficiency and reduced workload compared with a non-trivial manual adjustment baseline.
