Common mistakes
Too many stats diluting the impact
Missing units or context for the numbers
Inconsistent number formatting (mixing millions, thousands, raw counts)
History
Rooted in editorial infographic design from newspapers and magazines. Popularized in digital form by data journalism outlets like The Guardian and FiveThirtyEight.
Accessibility notes
Use semantic heading hierarchy and format large numbers with appropriate separators. Accent-hued numerals must meet WCAG AA contrast against the card background — not just against page-level text. Always state units explicitly (e.g., '99.9%', not '99.9').
