Hello Everyone π ,
Ever wondered π€ why you never wanted to read "Terms and Conditions" - not because only it's too long π (since you read more long blogs) but also because it's less hashtag . In some cases, companies don't want their users to let know that information loud and clear. Similarly, in some advertisements related to money, the "risky" message is very small or said very quickly. Well, they do it intentionally. We need to be aware of such UX practices.
Talk about readability: Text is the most common way of communicating and representing ideas. if you can't improve the readability of the text, it can't be consumed easily, and you will lose users and eventually fail your executive intent. There are many ways and factors that influence readability, like:
Font-size: which should be large enough for users to read it easily, If you are using small fonts, keep them semibold or bold.
Opacity and contrast: It should blend with the background and have a minimum AA+ contrast rating as per WCAG guidelines;

Line height: The height between the baselines of the text should be enough so that it will not look cluttered, far away, or considered as a different paragraph unintentionally.
The golden rule is to set the line height at 120% to 160%. As the font size increases, the proportionate line height decreases.
Letter spacing: Make sure your users can easily distinguish between works and letters by spacing between words. When in doubt, set it to 0% or default.
White space: It's one of the most crucial elements as it provides breathing space, guides our eyes to the proper flow, and helps to maintain the hierarchy between elements. It makes it easy to read and understand the content.
