Loam’s customers read soil reports in a truck, on a phone, often in sun. The office print-out was never the real reading situation.
We set the recommendation at 28 point, dropped the chemistry to the second page and used one colour for anything that needs action.
The test was simple: can you read the first line with the phone on the dashboard? If not, it was too small.
