How do I make sure my typography is accessible?
To make typography accessible:
Use clear, readable fonts (avoid decorative or thin styles).
Set minimum 16px for body text—smaller is hard to read.
Ensure color contrast meets WCAG standards (use WebAIM’s contrast checker).
Avoid justified text—it creates uneven gaps and hurts readability.
