I have never been more offended by a website's typography. Sent me directly into #ADHD overdrive, and wondering what this does to people with dyslexia. Screenreaders should be fine, but still, wrapping every single word through JS in a span is nasty. https://www.audibleperspectives.ch/about #Accessibility #WebDesign

    @thgie I liked the one that used bold in every first letter but this one is a nightmare.

    @thgie “The aim of the festival is to promote awareness and understanding of the acoustic dimensions of our environment.” Okay, maybe, but the aim of this *website* is to give you a headache. Jesus.

    @thgie@post.lurk.org How do they even come up with ideas like using inconsistant letter spacing for decoration? HereletmeremoveallthespacingfrommytextVeryeasytoreadright? It sucks no matter who's reading it. I don't mind decoratied text, but do it with fonts, colors and layout. Messing with spacing is like replacing all letters with "A"s in the name of reducing visual noise.
