Accessibility Tip of the Month
Use a familiar, simple, and easy to parse font for body content in digital documents, emails, and on digital signage. When selecting a font, ensure that characters are distinct from each other, such as a lowercase l and an uppercase I and the number 1. For example, Verdana has clearly distinct designs for characters. Note that there is no one optimal font, but selecting an easy to parse font will improve everyone’s overall reading speed and understanding of your content. Learn more about fonts on the WebAIM Typefaces and Fonts page.
