ALT The words, "Ladies and Gentlemen” using different degrees of letter spacing.

We hope that clears that one up.

I'm speaking on Tuesday, May 18th at 1:00 PM Eastern at the AIGA @DotGovDesign conference, and leading a conversation with @GarethFW @bruno_maag @davidkiosk about "The Readability of Government Information." So yes, we plan to talk about fonts and accessibility.
Understanding the human visual system is necessary to make good design decisions and to have a vocabulary to describe when things go wrong:

Just finished watching this fascinating talk on the results from @ReadabilityGrp's study into fonts. Highly recommend taking a look, especially if you're considering adding a 'dyslexia-friendly' font like OpenDyslexic or Dyslexie to your game... (TLDR: Please don't)

Labour MP @vickyfoxcroft just flamed our esteemed leader maximo @BorisJohnson in PMQ by asking when his outrageous spend of £2.6Mio on a press briefing room would include a BSL interpreter.
Johnson, as usual, fluffed it.

A few weeks ago we published an article on the three pillars of accessibility. Our latest article explains what this means for typographic accessibility:

This is a really good article that explains recent developments in colour font technology, with potentiality for improving some accessibility concerns.

For a long time Color Fonts were largely dismissed because browser support was patchy. Recently, new formats with greater graphic capabilities are being developed, opening them to new opportunities.

Legibility and readability are fundamental to good typographic accessibility but does everyone mean the same thing by it?
We published an article that dives deeper into the subject: medium.com/the-readability-g…

We presented our survey data at Axe-Con and also provided some typographic insights for why people may have given the answers they did.
It's encouraging to see that our data reflects findings of quant and lab based scientific data.
Our preso will soon be available for viewing.
We also have investigated a fair number of neuroscientific research papers into reading and find correlations with our data.
Much more work needs to be done, and we're definitely up for it.
