Keep styled text understandable
Decorative letters work best when the message still comes first.
Style a detail, preserve the meaning
Use ordinary text for long passages, instructions, names readers need to search and anything essential. Decorative Unicode characters may be handled differently by screen readers, speech tools and search features. There is no single pronunciation preview that can predict all assistive technologies.
Give people an alternative
If you share a styled phrase, include an ordinary-text version where practical. If you export an image, add a text description that communicates the wording and any essential visual meaning. Color alone should not carry a message: combine it with words or another clear cue.
Test in context
Listen with a screen reader you actually use and check the app where the text will appear. Review at a larger text size and on a narrow screen. FontGenerator.lol’s controls use ordinary labels, but generated decorative text has its own limitations. Prefer the clearest version when styling interferes with the task.
