Accessibility Overview for Kurland

Kurland scores in the excellent accessibility tier, making it well-suited for body text, UI labels, and long-form reading across devices.

Kurland in Context: Readability

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.
