Accessibility and Fonts
What do fonts have to do with accessibility?
Fonts play a big role in the readability of your content. Decorative fonts, script fonts, and fonts with unconventional styling make it difficult for some readers to perceive and understand your content. A lot of the information we present at Extension is text-based, so making sure that the font you choose for your content is accessible will ensure that you reach the widest possible audience.
What are some accessible fonts that I should be using?
- Times New Roman
- Tahoma
- Arial
- Verdana
- Helvetica
- Calibri
