Reader says blog font is too small on mobile devices

  • Unknown's avatar

    I got a note from a reader asking if I could change the font on my blog. She reads it on her phone, but the font there is small and light-colored. She says she has normal vision and enlarges the post, but still can’t read it well.

    Unfortunately, I have the lowest paid plan for my blog which doesn’t seem to allow for font changes. But I wonder if that would help anyway, since the font that shows up on my own phone is smaller than what appears on my desktop. I don’t know if changing the font would help.

    I’m not sure if there is anything I could do, besides going for a plan that allows font changes, which is not in my budget just now. But I wanted to let you know that the default configurations for reading WordPress blogs on mobile devices appears to be too small and light for some users.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hi there!

    It is possible to adjust your theme’s font selections via Customizer. You might find some other fonts more easily readable, particularly on mobile. You can visit Appearance -> Customize, or directly at https://wordpress.com/customize/

    You could also see if any of the other blogging themes we offer has improved typography over your current one: https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/blog

    The “Nook” theme, for example, has a similar feel to your current TwentyElevent theme and a similar sidebar.

    You might find other Twenty* themes suitable as well: https://wordpress.com/themes/all?s=twenty
