DyslexiaFont is a typo, a font, which was designed by a dyslexic designer for dyslexics. The aim is to propose a tool to improve the readability of texts for all people with this reading disorder.
DyslexieFont is therefore a font made to heal. After installing it on your computer, you will be able to use it in all the programs you use regularly. You can also use it in your internet browser. There is no real study on its use, but the author who tested it with many people with dyslexia or reading problems says thatit facilitates comprehension, reduces errors and improves reading speed.
A typographer who has studied his subject well, especially since he himself has dyslexia. A disorder characterised, inter alia, by confusion and inversion of the letters at the time of reading. To remedy the confusion of the letters, Dyslexia has a large base line, offers alternating sizes of sticks and tails, offers wider than normal openings that make each character, a character with a unique shape.
It is hardly worth trying, especially as dyslexic or not. this font is above all particularly legible. Another reason not to be deprived of it it is free for personal use.
Paid licenses are offered for use throughout a school, college or high school.
Full instructions for use can be found on the author’s website (in English) to install the font in your orinator, tablet or smartphone.

And compared to opendyslexic ( http://opendyslexic.org/ ) ???
Hello,
I'm not dyslexic, but these are fonts that can help with reading on a screen.
To obtain DyslexieFont, I had to fill out a form (name, email, address), and I was promised to send the police within 20 minutes by email.
opendyslexic offers a pack of 9 different fonts, and you can download it instantly, also for free, installation in 5 seconds. Although I ‘ordered’ DyslexieFont first, the waiting time made me install opendyslexic in the meantime. As a result, only one of the two fonts is enough for me, I will not install the first one.
I was able to visually compare the two fonts for dyslexics, and it is clear that DyslexieFont and opendyslexic are based on the same design principle, which makes them quite similar.
Hello, it is not free, it covers a month of trial. For personal use, this is €4.99 the annual licence for an individual user.
