Accessible Typeface
Accessible Typeface
The Braille Institute has developed an accessible typeface known as Atkinson Hyperlegible. The typeface can be installed on your computer allowing you to use it in documents, slideshows, and other resources you develop. The typeface is designed to be more legible for low vision users allowing for easier distinguishing between commonly confused letters and numbers. The license allows the typeface to be used broadly, including in commercial applications.
The Instructional Resources Hub uses this typeface on this website.
