| Added: <ul><li>Use large-print font. Provide an additional large format option for people with low vision using a minimum font size of 18 or 20-point.</li><li>Use a sans-serif font (one without the little ‘feet’ or decorations at the end of straight lines) such as <strong>Arial</strong>, <strong>Open Sans</strong> or <strong>Helvetica</strong>.</li><li>Use <strong>bold </strong>for headings and avoid using underlines, <em>italics </em>and hyphen-ations, as they add unnecessary visual complication to the text.</li><li>Leave plenty of space between paragraphs and don’t feel like you need to fit everything on one page. Use two pages or more if you need to. Leaving appropriate negative space makes it easier for everyone to digest the menu.</li><li>Include pictures of the menu offerings.</li><li>Use good colour contrast. </li><li>Use simple, easy to understand language.</li></ul> |
