<https://livestream.com/internetsociety/a11ytext>On *Tuesday April 5 2022*
at *7:30pm-8:30pm EDT* (23:30-00:30 UTC) the *Accessibility NYC Meetup
<https://www.meetup.com/A11yNYC/>* (A11yNYC) hosts an online meetup
‘*Accessible
Typefaces, Fonts, and Text: Optimizing the reading experience
<https://www.meetup.com/A11yNYC/events/284234182/>*‘. Typefaces, fonts, and
text styling can have a significant impact on the user experience — and
there are few accessibility guidelines that relate to text
accessibility. *Jared
Smith* of *WebAIM <https://webaim.org/>* will provide an overview of how
reading is processed in the human mind, and how to minimize the cognitive
effort and maximize the visual accessibility of online text.

The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the *Internet
Society New York Accessibility SIG <https://a11ysig.org>*
