Readability enhancements

I find the text on the site hard to read. The shape of the letters in the default font is challenging to read comfortably. And some characters are easily confused (e.g. Il1). Using a different font for body text, one that is designed for ease of reading (e.g. Inter, Source Sans, Atkinson Hyperlegible, Fira Sans) and has features that make it is to distinguish similar characters.

Also, the size of the font often contributes to it being hard to read. It would be nice to have fluid typography sizing (resize as the screen does). Or a larger base size with a modular scale.

Color is another factor that plays into readability. And it would be great if all color contrast ratios met WCAG 2.2 Level AA guidelines (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#contrast-minimum).

There are a lot of other great accessibility items in WCAG 2.2 to consider implementing as well. But, making everything easier to read and interact with would be great!

Thanks!

Hi Scott,
Sorry we did not see your forum post.
Can you tell us where the content is not good to read? Maybe also with screenshots?
Kind regards

Hi Philipp,

Most of the text in the app is hard for me to read. The default font family (Hansom FY) and font weight (300) make it challenging for me. Especially if the font size is less than 20px.

The shape of the letters in the default font is challenging to read comfortably. And some characters are easily confused (e.g. Il1).

Here is Inter as the default font of this UI:

And this is Fira Sans:

And increasing the contrast of interactive UI, like links, would help too.

Thanks,
