It kinda “anchors” the text so the letters stay where they’re meant to. A tiny spot in centre of my vision is blurry, sometimes I miss words in the middle of a sentence. For some reason this font helps with that.
What's your opinion on Atkinson Hyperlegible?
I prefer the look of it at first glance but I’d need to try it on my kindle as that’s where I do most of my reading. Afaik kindle only supports open dyslexic.
EDIT: @jackbydev I just wanted to say thanks for the tip on the font. I’ve been using it on my kindle since you told me about it. It’s doesn’t work quite as well as open dyslexic for me but it works enough for me to use it as my default font - and it’s so much nicer to look at!
Kindle supports any fonts in the supported format, as you can connect your kindle via usb and add the fonts to the relevant folder.
TIL, thanks!
It's fancier but I don't think it does the same as OD.
I like it better.
Makes sense and I appreciate all the answers. I’m actually dyslexic myself, but it’s mild and more likely to jumble coming out than going in so I’ve never felt the need to prioritize practicality over aesthetic preference. And while I knew some fonts helped I didn’t know what actually made them help. But at the same time I do hope we keep moving towards more and more dyslexia friendly fonts being defaults. Especially as we can get them more and more aesthetically varied to fill different moods and tones
