Typography isn’t binary \u2014 legible or illegible. Between those poles exists a spectrum of reading difficulty that disproportionately affects different users<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 25-year-old with perfect vision reading on a MacBook Pro in an office sees text differently than a 55-year-old with mild presbyopia reading on an iPhone SE in direct sunlight. Someone with dyslexia processes letterforms differently than someone without. A user navigating your site with a screen reader experiences text entirely through audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) exist to ensure your typography works for everyone, not just in ideal conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s not a niche \u2014 it’s nearly 30% of the global population. Designing only for perfect vision means excluding billions of potential customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
