Talking about **Dynamic Type** we are going to discuss those **visual impairments** that affect the *sharpness* of the perceived picture. To learn more about **color blindness** or **major vision loss** visit [**Colors and Shapes**](<doc:ColorsAndShapes>) tutorial and [**VoiceOver**](<doc:VoiceOver>) article accordingly.

## What Is Dynamic Type

**Dynamic Type** is **Apple**'s technology that automatises [**scaling of fonts**](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102453).

A **font** is a family of **glyphs** of the same style used to represent **symbols** -- units of the *written* language.

**Font scaling** is a term that describes **changing the size of symbols** both to *lesser* or *bigger* degrees.

## Adjusting Text Size
Customisation of **text appearance** is the most common accessibility setting chosen by users of various displaying means. **Mobile devices** are more exposed to the need of font scaling support due to a relatively small size of their displays which may be found *inconvenient* for some people to interact with.

### Use Cases: Symbols Recognition
@Image(source: text-sizes, alt: "")

Font scaling is purposed to **enhance the visual perception** so people have better **reading experience**. According to statistics, most of the users who change the font size prefer to **enlarge** text. Which, well, sounds reasonable: vision loss is not only *inevitably* obtained by age, but **widely present** in *any* age.
