Choosing the right font can make a huge difference in accessibility!
Here are some key font considerations for those with low vision:
🔹 Font Weight: The thickness of letters affects visibility. Bolder fonts are often easier to read.
🔹 Serif vs. Sans Serif: Serif fonts (with small decorative lines or “tails”) can make letters harder to distinguish. Sans serif fonts, which lack these embellishments, are often clearer.
