Our Commitment

We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA — the standard referenced by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for digital accessibility. Our Type Tester and Font Showcase widgets are built from the ground up with accessibility in mind. Every interactive element is keyboard-operable, labeled for screen readers, and meets color contrast requirements.

Keyboard Navigation

Every element in our font tools can be reached and operated using only a keyboard:

Tab — move through all controls in a logical order
Arrow Keys — navigate the full character browser and all dropdown menus
Escape — close any open dialog or dropdown and return focus
Enter / Space — activate buttons and select items
Page Up / Down — skip multiple rows in the character grid

Focus Visibility

A clear focus ring appears around any element that receives keyboard focus. This ring appears only during keyboard navigation — it never shows on mouse clicks or touch, keeping the interface clean for pointer users.

Color Contrast

All text and interactive elements meet WCAG 2.1 AA contrast requirements:

Body Text (#374151 on white)

Exceeds 4.5:1 minimum for normal text

Secondary Text (#6B7280 on white)

4.83:1 — passes AA for text

Blue Accents (#2563EB on white)

5.17:1 — passes AA for text and UI components

Focus Ring (#2563EB on white)

5.17:1 — exceeds 3:1 non-text minimum

Screen Reader Support

All buttons and controls have descriptive aria-label attributes
Character browser: role="dialog" , aria-modal="true"
Each glyph cell: role="gridcell" with glyph name as its label
Toggle buttons announce their state: aria-pressed
Dropdowns announce open/closed: aria-expanded
Dynamic content changes announced via aria-live="polite"

Compatible with NVDA(Windows), JAWS(Windows), and VoiceOver(macOS & iOS). Browser zoom up to 400% is supported without loss of functionality.
