Legibility

Text should be easy to read from a distance. Try to:

  • Use one font family.
  • Keep similar visuals using the same text sizes.

    • Select a card → Format your visual → Visual → Callout → Apply settings to [pick your measure] → Value → Display units → None
    • Select a card → Format your visual → General → Data format → Format options → Format → Whole number → toggle "thousands separator" on

It should look something like this:

Save the project and, from the course directory, submit the CLI tests.
