Curbcut WCAG AAA

Paragraph

Body text with a readable measure, plus lead and small variants.

A lead paragraph introduces the page in slightly larger, softer text.

Body text is capped at a 46rem measure so lines stay readable. The serif face and 1.6 line height are tuned for long-form civic content — meeting minutes, bylaws, notices.

Small text never drops below 0.85rem.

  • Write at a plain-language reading level (3.1.5 is an AAA criterion) — short sentences, common words.
