I'm looking though all these stock illustrations (hundreds, for sure, but it feels like thousands) and one thing is for certain:
Able-bodied people CANNOT conceive of the existence of a wheelchair that doesn't have handles on it.
Or of a wheelchair user who is not actively having someone push them around.
JEEBUS.

Why are all stock photos of older/senior/elderly couples having fun on beaches? And why do beaches make everyone dress in only white/khaki/tan?
I was so excited to use Atkinson Hyperlegible in my next project but it doesn't support all the glyphs I need! :(
(This is more me being upset with my project having funky glyphs than being upset with the font. It's got a huge glyph set already, that's a lot of work! It's not its fault that I need like 50 extra not-often-used glyphs!)

A new typeface β 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!
OMFG the printer that I'm required to work with to get this fucking banner made actually emailed me "Just have the design created with a bleed and that should be fine," when I asked for specs.
MY DUDES I DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT BANNER SIZES YOU OFFER, much less what you consider "a bleed" for an item this size.
