Accessibility & Usability

Adequate Accessibility

Good Brush: Accessibility Considerations

Good Brush has limited accessibility at small sizes due to reduced character differentiation, so reserve it for headlines and display contexts. Irregular baselines and inconsistent letter spacing can hinder readers with visual processing differences. Maintain generous line height and avoid setting below 16 px.

Reading Good Brush: Legibility Factors

Good Brush draws legibility from its disconnected or loosely connected letterforms and irregular stroke weight from natural hand pressure. These characteristics help readers distinguish similar glyphs such as I, l, and 1 at a range of sizes.

Good Brush Reading Performance

More legible than formal scripts due to disconnected letters, but the irregular baseline limits sustained reading. Best at medium sizes for short passages. Use at 16 px minimum for body text, and maintain 1.5 line-height to support comfortable reading rhythm.

Eye Strain Considerations for Good Brush

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

Good Brush Accessibility Recommendations

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

Good Brush Usage Guidelines

Combine with a geometric sans-serif for modern contrast or a clean slab serif for grounded warmth. Avoid pairing with script or calligraphic faces. Curated pairings are available to guide complementary typeface selection for Good Brush. Establish hierarchy through size, spacing, and color rather than multiplying font families. Serve Good Brush in WOFF2 format for optimal load performance and broad browser compatibility.
