This is why teams need some old codgers like me around. We don't see so
good anymore, and need larger fonts.
The teeny-tiny fonts all come from people under 25 :-)
I certainly won't disagree that small fonts can be hard to read, but on
the other end, I've seen a lot of newer websites with gigantic fonts,
and I find that painful to read as well.
Ironically, the most unreadable web pages I've seen were on apple.com.
Haven't looked at it recently, but they'd use a tiny font, and make it
light gray letters on a white background. It was literally painful to
try and read it.
Grey-on-white is ridiculously common and should be jailable offense.
I'll never understand the the reasoning behind that readability destroyer.
