A new typeface – greater legibility and readability for low vision readers Atkinson Hyperlegible font is named after Braille Institute founder, J. Robert Atkinson.  What makes it different from traditional typography design is that it focuses on letterform distinction to increase character recognition, ultimately improving readability.  We are making it free for anyone to use!

First I’d like to say thank you for having various font and the possibility to change the size. I’m on a OnePlus font and stock I cannot change fonts so I love having choices!

I really appreciate also having access to Open Dyslexia, I’ve used it for multiple months personally, and have found the Atkinson Hyperlegible is really good too, and looks to the people around eying your phone a bit less alienating and easier to start using for a lot of people!

Thank you for the app and have a great day!

    Can we have a few fonts that are unambiguous too. Fonts like Ubuntu have very different characters for Il1| , O0, 5S, Z2 etc. Fonts that might have similar looking characters is a pet peeve of mine. Obviously not as important as adding fonts for accessibility reasons but adding something like Cantarell or Ubuntu or even a good monospace font would really be excellent.
