Accessibility & Usability

56
Accessibility Score
Adequate Accessibility

Using Raster Forge Accessibly

Raster Forge falls in the moderate accessibility tier, working best at medium-to-large sizes where its letterforms remain clearly differentiated. Decorative features may reduce legibility for users with cognitive disabilities. Always provide sufficient size contrast between display and body text.

Raster Forge's Legibility

Raster Forge 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.

Raster Forge 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.

Eye Strain Considerations for Raster Forge

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

Raster Forge Accessibility Recommendations

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

How to Use Raster Forge Effectively

Anchor with a neutral text serif or sans-serif. The display face should carry personality while the text face carries readability. Curated pairings are available to guide complementary typeface selection for Raster Forge. Establish hierarchy through size, spacing, and color rather than multiplying font families. Serve Raster Forge in WOFF2 format for optimal load performance and broad browser compatibility.
