Unfortunately, the only design option that Airtable allows you to change is that you can toggle the size of each field between “default” size and “large” size.

The other design option you can change is if you choose to embed your form into another website. Then, you can change your embed code to use a different height or width.

Otherwise, for tons more design options that you can customize in many different ways, I would highly recommend that you use Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout is 100% free, it offers lots of design options, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable doesn't offer, such as the ability to update exissting Airtable records with a form.

Other Fillout features include: multi-page forms, conditional paths for pages, accepting payments on forms, creating linked records on a form, specifying the maximum number of linked records, displaying lookup fields & formulas & rollup fields on forms, and so much more!

Hi there!

At miniExtensions, we've created a third-party form that integrates seamlessly with Airtable and offers a different design that could help reduce eye strain and improve readability. Our form also gives you options such as adjusting the width of the form or increasing the text size in field descriptions and formula fields, providing you with greater control over the form’s appearance.

I’m very surprised this issue is not being addressed by AirTable.  An unreadable font size can frustrate users with sight problems, and possibly prevent them from completing the form!

I inspect the CSS of an embedded form, and found that font sizes are set with CSS variables (custom properties), the most important of which is:

This is way too small of a default font size intended for end-users. 

(To be clear, there are a number of other CSS custom properties defined for font sizes as well.  They are all specified in pixels (`px`). This is less of a problem than it used to be, but specifying font sizes in pixels is still a sub-standard option compared with the plethora of other sizing units available.)

Using the Web Inspector, I tested what the form would look like by changing the `--font-size-body-default` from 13px to 13pt.  It instantly became much more readable.

Since the plethora of CSS custom properties specify font sizes in relation to one another, it’s obviously important for any changes to take this into account.  Simply by switching from pixels (`px`) to points (`pt`) is a fast, simple way to make forms readable again and preserve the proportions between different fonts.

AirTable: This is a ready-to-use solution! Please fix the font sizing of forms. To restate: this is a usability & accessibility issue with the potential to frustrate users away from filling out AirTable forms.

Thank you for your time and consideration! 🙏
