  • If you want to make things accessible for heavy cases of #Dyslexia, then #OpenDyslexic is a better alternative.

  • If you want something less obvious, consider #LEXEND which was specifically designed as a high-legibility alternative to New Century Schoolbook.

  • If your problem isn't Dyslexia but the need to read something under adverse conditions, consider #B612 & #B612mono which have been designed for #Airbus as #font for their instrumentation, manuals and checklists as well as anything else in and on an aircraft.

OpenDyslexic

OpenDyslexic is a typeface designed against some common symptoms of dyslexia.

@nekoewen JFC!

Of all the nice #fonts they could've chosen (#B612 / #B612mono, #SunGalantDemi, #LEXEND, #OpenDyslexic ... ) they chose the worst one with the worst #licensing terms...

@rootcompute Tho I expect a sorta-revival fo #FrutigerAero in design, which I'd call "#LexendGlass" to distinguish it.

Similar to how #Renaissance and #Classical #Design are distinguished...

Cuz: "#NeoFrutigerAero" sounds weird to me...

@neuSoM Ich kenne #ComicSans oft nur bei Leuten die weder #OpenDyslexic noch #LEXEND kennen...

@neuSoM Die Verwendung von #ComicSans lässt das ganze leider weniger seriös erscheinen.

Ich empfehle als Alternativen #OpenDyslexic, #LEXEND und #B612 wenns um Lesbarkeit ankommt.

@nikclayton @LySioS @Jeremiah makes sense...

Personally I prefer #B612Mono, but then again #LEXEND or #B612 may be a more sensible default choice for many.

#OpenDyslexic is a very extreme example, #Atkinson tries to be more subtile...

There are also other fonts like #DIN1451 * and #FE-Schrift, but they have way lesser glyphs (FE doesn't even cover #ASCII)...

@Jeremiah I really need to make a #font #list with all the good fonts designed for #accessibility and/or flexibility.
