CHORUS Services Responsive Typography Testing

Typography Scaling Verification

This document verifies that the CHORUS Services brand system maintains accessibility and readability across all device sizes and zoom levels.

Responsive Typography Implementation

CSS Clamp() Usage

The brand system uses modern CSS clamp() functions for fluid typography scaling:

/* Hero Display Typography */
--text-hero: clamp(48px, 8vw, 84px);
--text-display-1: clamp(32px, 5vw, 48px);
--text-display-2: clamp(24px, 4vw, 36px);

/* Fixed Sizes for Consistency */
--text-body-large: 18px;
--text-body: 16px;
--text-body-small: 14px;
--text-interface: 16px;
--text-interface-small: 14px;
--text-code: 14px;

Breakpoint Testing Results

Zoom Level Testing (WCAG Requirement: 200% Zoom)

100% Zoom (Baseline)

• Hero: 48px-84px (depending on viewport) ✅
• Body: 16px ✅
• Interface: 16px ✅
• Minimum: 14px ✅

150% Zoom

• Hero: 72px-126px (scales proportionally) ✅
• Body: 24px (16px * 1.5) ✅
• Interface: 24px (16px * 1.5) ✅
• Minimum: 21px (14px * 1.5) ✅

200% Zoom (WCAG Requirement)

• Hero: 96px-168px (scales proportionally) ✅
• Body: 32px (16px * 2) ✅
• Interface: 32px (16px * 2) ✅
• Minimum: 28px (14px * 2) ✅

Result: No horizontal scrolling required at 200% zoom ✅

Line Height Scaling

Responsive Line Heights

--leading-tight: 1.0;      /* Hero/Display */
--leading-snug: 1.1;       /* Section headers */
--leading-normal: 1.2;     /* UI elements */
--leading-relaxed: 1.4;    /* Small text, code */
--leading-loose: 1.5;      /* Body text */
