Today, I would like to introduce you to a new typeface created by the Braille Institute, designed to make text more readable. This font is, of course, free to use for everyone, including for commercial purposes.
Benefits of Using Atkinson Hyperlegible Font
The Atkinson Hyperlegible font is specifically designed for individuals with vision impairments. It is easy to read and understand, making it an excellent choice for those who struggle with small or blurry text.
I believe that it can also be utilized on e-readers for faster reading. I will conduct tests in this area in a few days.
Here are some benefits of using the Atkinson Hyperlegible font:
- Easy to read: This font is crafted to be easily readable, even for individuals with vision problems. The letters are clear and distinct, and the contrasts are high. There is also a clear distinction between mirror letters, such as "p" and "q."
- Freely available: You can download it from the Braille Institute's website.
- Compatibility: Atkinson Hyperlegible is compatible with most software, including web browsers, text editors, and word processing programs.
- Multiple styles: It is available in several styles, including bold, italic, and bold italic.
If you find it challenging to read on screen, you should consider using the Atkinson Hyperlegible font. It can help you read more easily and comprehend what you are reading better.
Tips for Using Atkinson Hyperlegible Font
- Increase font size: You can adjust the font size to make the letters larger and easier to read.
- Enhance contrast: This will help the letters stand out more against the background. Unfortunately, this option is available on very few e-readers.
- Use adequate lighting: Adjust the lighting to ensure you have enough light for reading.
