Accessibility & Usability

Accessibility Score

Good Accessibility

Using Exan 3 Accessibly

Exan 3 achieves a good accessibility rating, performing reliably for both paragraph text and interface elements at standard sizes. Decorative features may reduce legibility for users with cognitive disabilities. Always provide sufficient size contrast between display and body text.

Exan 3's Legibility

Exan 3 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.

Exan 3 Reading Performance

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.

Exan 3: Comfort in Extended Reading

Exan 3 provides a focused weight range that maintains consistent typographic color across paragraphs. Balanced stroke modulation keeps visual noise low during sustained reading sessions.

Exan 3 Accessibility Recommendations

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

Exan 3 Usage Guidelines

Anchor with a neutral text serif or sans-serif. The display face should carry personality while the text face carries readability. A focused set of pairings helps designers find compatible companions for Exan 3. Establish hierarchy through size, spacing, and color rather than multiplying font families. Serve Exan 3 in WOFF2 format for optimal load performance and broad browser compatibility.
