Description
What makes an accessible typeface? And how can we
improve typography in regard to web accessibility?
To answer this and other questions, I invited type designer Eleni Beveratou, creative director at Dalton Maag.
We discuss:
? The difference between legibility and readability
? What makes an accessible typeface?
? If Arial and Comic Sans are really superior?
? If we should use designated fonts for dyslexic people in our designs more often?
? How you can mess up the most accessible typeface by using it inaccurately.
? If you should avoid italics or centered text?
? And, if ligatures are helpful or can be problematic?
This was recorded as a fun an easy-going live stream on YouTube. If you want so see the visuals, maybe check out the video as well, but I think for the most part you will be good to follow along.
