> Did anyone else find the green background and the white text clash in a way that made it difficult to read? No, but only because with Javascript disabled there is literally nothing but an olive green page. Truly remarkable, given that it is supposed to be inclusive.
This is an honest question: are you browsing the web in 2024 with javascript disabled?
You'd be surprised by the number of people who does that. Not everyone has a fancy browser and not everyone can see.

#24Any font that's designed for accessibility should always run an actual study to measure whether they managed to hit their mark or not. There's countless fonts out there designed to ameliorate dyslexia and other similar conditions that are in practice actually worse than a regular font, despite best intentions. This is something you can measure, you don't have to guess.

#25Obligatory: the most accessible font is usually a font your readers are already familiar with. This font looks distinctive, and personally I kinda like it, but it's not a magic wand you can wave over a document to make it more accessible.
Was going to ask, wouldn't something like Times New Roman be the most accessible just cause people are used to it? Plus, serifs make the letters more recognizable.

#26Did anyone else find the green background and the white text clash in a way that made it difficult to read? I found that ironic given the article.
Same here. I can't evaluate the font because of the background.
Don't see why I should wait for images to fade in either.

Why does it want my e-mail? It doesn't seem very inclusive to require a signup just to download a font.
Also no information on the licence that I could see.
