Font choice affects readability more than ATS mythology suggests.
The real risk is not one specific font name. It is legibility, spacing stability, and export quality.
What matters most
Readable size, consistent weights, clean punctuation rendering, and predictable export behavior.
What to avoid
Decorative typefaces, unstable ligature rendering, and dense low-contrast body text.
Validation workflow
Export, run parser checks, and inspect extracted plain text before submission.
