[Spike] Investigate and Improve Font Legibility on Low PPI Screens

Open Spark450 opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Research Existing Solutions: Gather information on existing text rendering techniques used to enhance font clarity on low-resolution screens.
  • Implement the most promising techniques with our typeface (Acumin Pro Semi Condensed) to test the technique's effectiveness.
  • Testing Across Devices: Test the readability of these solutions on devices with different PPI screens (72ppi through to 200-300ppi).
  • In testing pay particularly close attention to the "e" and "a" with the "bold" treatment
  • Do not investigate "font-smooth" CSS property
  • Investigate font CSS properties to see if there is any viable options
  • Discuss the option of moving from 700 weight to 600 weight headings with @twjeffery
  • Stakeholder Review: Present findings and prototypes to PO for feedback.
  • Documentation: Document the research findings, including any proposed changes that are being recommended for implementation.

Notes:

  • Changing our typeface is likely not on the table
  • This spike does not need to follow the Spike process
  • Focus on solutions that can be integrated with minimal disruption to the current design system.
