How Readable is Hey Louie?

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.

Hey Louie: Comfort in Extended Reading

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