2.5.3     Meta Information
Increases accessibility - stylized font may be helpful to visual readers, but it can hinder auditory readers. Use styling features that contain meta information such as headings and captions. Screen readers do not pick up on visual attributes such as font color, large or small sizing, drop-caps, subscripts, and superscripts. They also do not make distinctions between indented and non-indented wording. All text is read in the same manner. Meta information, however, is recognized by screen readers.
