Typography Standard report issued by typographystandard.org using Typography Standard 2.0. Typography Standard certifies measurable font-file readiness across legibility, coverage, technical integrity, and production checks. It does not guarantee WCAG compliance of any website or application using the font. WCAG evaluates digital experiences (contrast, resize behavior, reflow, and content), not font binaries alone.
