Large-print

Large-print (also large-type or large-font) refers to the formatting of a book or other text document in which the font size is considerably larger than usual to accommodate people who have low vision.

Examples of more-easily read fonts are Antique Olive, Tahoma, Tiresias, and Verdana.

[9] In 1914 Robert Irwin produced a series of textbooks in 36 point, for low-vision children in Cleveland, Ohio schools.

The books were given plain dust jackets, color-coded to indicate categories like mysteries (black), general fiction (red), romances (blue), Westerns (orange), etc.

[12] In 2008 the W3.org released the WCAG 2.0 web accessibility standards, which define large text as 18pt, which is 24px in CSS.

Since 2005, some companies have begun offering a variety of font sizes for large print books.
