Re: [wbs] response to 'Curricula -- Designer Modules Starfish Review'

Hello Shadi,

All guidelines dealing with Plain Language and Easy to Read recommend the use of "sans-serif typefaces" versus "serif typefaces" to support readability and legibility.

Which recommendation are you referring to in this context? I think there
is no consensus decision from AGWG on font face, just that the users are
able to adjust these to their own needs and preferences.
