It can even help with attention-focussing issues like in ADHD. Marvelous invention, really.
Ironically i find it vastly more difficult to focus on than normal fonts, all i want is to FUCKING MAKE GLYPHS LOOK DIFFERENT TO EACH OTHER
iIlL| if these don't look OBVIOUSLY different in a font it is a bad font and must die.
Is this loss?
Whatever font is default on lemmy.world on my Firefox on Windows 10 is making most of them look the same, blegh.
Look up "Atkinson Hyperlegible"
https://brailleinstitute.org/freefont for the curious but lazy
Yeah i read another comment about it and tried it, seems to let me read without my glasses!
The design criteria for that font are amazing, and the result shows it.
Those look very different from each other to me.
It's decent, but i find leaving out serifs on capital I to be very silly for a font that wants to be legible.
I'm trying atkinson hyperlegible now and it makes good use of the serifs.
Yes, things that aren't designed for you should die, I feel the same
It's not about me lol, this is a fundamental criterion for a good font, a font that doesn't differentiate between glyphs is objectively a bad font, it is bad at the ONE SINGLE JOB it has.
Its job is to help people with dyslexia, and it does, even if it doesn't help everyone with dyslexia
I bought a Spanish textbook recently and it uses multiple fonts throughout for this exact reason. I hadn’t seen in it in a physical book before but if it helps people I’m all for it.
