summary

Practical guidance on making web typography accessible: use relative units (em) for font-size, set line-height around 1.5 and max-width about 55–65ch, and avoid meta viewport that prevents zoom. Also cover WCAG 2.1 and RGAA considerations (contrast ratios, underlined or clearly marked links, >80 characters flagged at AAA), and demonstrate implementation tips and tools including a style-switcher (e.g., OpenDyslexic) with examples and demos.
