Atkinson Hyperlegible Font

[ysabetwordsmith]

The Braille Institute is offering a font, Atkinson Hyperlegible, designed for people with impaired vision and free for everyone to use.  Its typography features make it clean and easy to read, with distinctions between commonly confused symbols.  So for instance, "p" has a straight tail while "q" has a curled tail.  Many of the same features appear in dyslexic-friendly fonts, so if you're a fan of those, you might like this one too.

I love Atkinson Hyperlegible! I set it as my default font for my web browser and for my documents. When I'm copying a web address or username, it's essential to be able to tell apart the characters l, I, and 1, or O and 0, which are readily distinguished in this typeface.

I like this font! I typically find serif fonts easier to read than sans serif and this takes that a bit farther! I am very glad to learn about this!
