Accessibility & Usability

Accessibility Score

Adequate Accessibility

Accessibility Overview for Starway

Starway 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.

How Legible is Starway?

Starway 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.

How Readable is Starway?

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.

Starway for Long-Form Content

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

Starway Accessibility Recommendations

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

Design Tips for Starway

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 Starway. Establish hierarchy through size, spacing, and color rather than multiplying font families. Serve Starway in WOFF2 format for optimal load performance and broad browser compatibility.
