For Low Vision Awareness month the Braille Institute launched a new version of "Atkinson Hyperlegible", their easy-to-read and free-to-use font. [1]

"Atkinson Hyperlegible Next" adds more weights, more glyphs, and improves kerning. And there's now a monospace version.

Check out Kim Tidwell's interview with Brad Scott, founder of Applied Design, who collaborated on the font. [2]

I'm still, slowly, working on a #LandingPage for my new website and have decided that for #accessibility and #UX reasons, Atkinson Hyperlegible will be the main font. It's designed to be unambiguous, making it extremely easy to read.

The link to the official page on the #BrailleInstitute's website wont load for me, but there's also the project on #GitHub (do avoid Google #Fonts) https://github.com/googlefonts/atkinson-hyperlegible
