Easy-to-read fonts & understandable text design
Everyone benefits from this, but especially people with visual impairments or dyslexia
A text is easier for everyone to understand if it is set in a sans serif font with sufficient size and spacing, sparing use of emphasis, left-aligned, well structured and written in clear language.
