The revolutionary font for people with dyslexia
Dyslexia is a learning disorder that makes it harder for people to interpret words, letters, and sentences. While it does not affect a person's general intelligence, the condition can make it much harder for those who live with the disorder to maneuver language and communications that are like second-nature for everybody else.After spending years struggling with his own dyslexia, Dutch graphic designer Christian Boer created a special font called Dyslexie as his graduation project from the Utrecht School of the Arts.The most common reading errors of dyslexia are swapping, mirroring, changing, turning and melting letters together. In the Dyslexie font, every letter is uniquely shaped, eliminating the common reading errors of dyslexia. The innovative font increases the ease of reading for people with dyslexia, meanwhile offering non-dyslectics some reading benefits as well. Studies on the font's efficacy have shown that dyslexics can read up to 84% faster, they make 77% less reading errors, and 76% would recommend using the font for other dyslexics.
