unreadably

Too unclear visually

Unreadably describes something done in a manner that cannot be read or deciphered.

Handwriting may be unreadably cramped, a screen unreadably dim, or prose unreadably dense: The contract was unreadably small without my glasses.

The word often emphasizes that something fails at its basic communicative purpose.
