All,

There is a design which one of my team members is reviewing where the visuals have a button where the text is on a 90 degree rotation. Any SC this fails or assistive tech issues? The same for any other type of rotation of text?

Regards

I raised this question a few years ago and the unanimous view at the time was that it is really bad UX, but that it doesn't violate WCAG. My opinion has not changed since then.
