Accessibility & Usability

Accessibility Score

Adequate Accessibility

Accessibility Overview for Crushed

Crushed has limited accessibility at small sizes due to reduced character differentiation, so reserve it for headlines and display contexts. Decorative features may reduce legibility for users with cognitive disabilities. Always provide sufficient size contrast between display and body text.

Crushed Legibility Characteristics

Crushed draws legibility from its tight spacing optimized for large point sizes and exaggerated contrast, weight, or decorative features. These characteristics help readers distinguish similar glyphs such as I, l, and 1 at a range of sizes.

How Readable is Crushed?

Designed exclusively for sizes above 24 pt. Display faces sacrifice small-size legibility for visual impact and personality at headline scale. Use at 16 px minimum for body text, and maintain 1.5 line-height to support comfortable reading rhythm.

Crushed for Long-Form Content

Crushed provides a focused weight range that maintains consistent typographic color across paragraphs. Balanced stroke modulation keeps visual noise low during sustained reading sessions.

Crushed Accessibility Recommendations

Maintain a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text when setting Crushed. Use font sizes of at least 16 px for paragraph copy and line spacing of 1.5 or greater. Test Crushed at 200% browser zoom to confirm line breaks and layout integrity remain intact.
