2.3 #Brand.Typefaces Typefaces
Good typography is accessible. The typefaces we use for The A11Y Project have been selected because of their acessibility-friendly qualities. These include distinct letterforms with prominent ascenders and descenders, to help both Dyslexia concerns and provide recognizable letter shapes for English as a second language considerations.
When it comes to accessible web typography, it is also important to remember that fonts don't matter. We strive to make good design choices that aid in legibility and comprehension. This includes a comfortable line length and height, and a good font size. Most importantly, we use technolgies that allow a person to change the typeface, color, and size if they need to.
Performance is also a concern. We deliver the site's typefaces in a way that's fast and friendly to modern browsers, without hampering or locking out people using older or non-mainstream technology.
