Make The Guardian easier to read
FontFlex is a Safari extension that changes the font, size, spacing and colors of theguardian.com, and every other site, on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Why The Guardian can be tiring to read
News pages pack headlines, captions and articles closely together. A larger size and calmer font help you get through the article itself.
A good FontFlex setup for The Guardian
- Text size one or two steps larger Free
- A clear sans serif such as Atkinson Hyperlegible Pro
- Line height around 1.6 Pro
Only for The Guardian, if you like
Save these settings as a FontFlex profile and assign it to theguardian.com. The Guardian gets its own look while every other site keeps your default. Profiles are free.
New to FontFlex? The setup guide shows how to turn the extension on in Safari. It takes about a minute.
FontFlex is not affiliated with The Guardian. It changes how pages look on your device only.
The quiet cost of hard-to-read pages
Small, thin type and tight lines make readers work harder. Many give up halfway down the page, and the words were never the problem.
