Verdana was chosen as our primary font due to its design features being specifically tailored for digital content. Its clear and legible letterforms enhance the user experience for all visitors, including those with visual impairments. Here are the key reasons why Verdana is an ideal font for our site:

  • Legibility: Verdana was designed specifically for screen use, with wide spacing and clear letterforms. This makes it easier to read on digital devices, especially at smaller sizes.
  • Distinct Characters: The font features distinct characters that help avoid confusion. For example, lowercase "l" (L), uppercase "I" (i), and "1" (one) are designed to be easily differentiated.
  • Large x-height: Verdana has a larger x-height, which means the height of lowercase letters is greater relative to uppercase letters. This enhances readability, especially for users with visual impairments.
  • Simple Shapes: The overall design of the font includes simple shapes and minimal decoration, which reduces visual clutter and helps maintain focus on the text.
  • Wide Letter Spacing: The generous spacing between letters prevents crowding, making it easier for users to track lines of text without losing their place.

Font Sizing

HomePlate uses a slightly larger value for the minimum font size than the default rem value set by browsers. This adjustment ensures that text is more readable for users, particularly those with visual impairments or dyslexia. A larger font size reduces eye strain and improves comprehension, creating a more user-friendly experience.
