OpenDyslexic Font

Chapter 10 of The New Media Writer discusses how typography can affect readers and what to consider when choosing a typeface.

This article discusses a new typeface developed for readers that have dyslexia, particularly when reading online. As the article states, the font, designed by Abelardo Gonzalez, "features heavily-weighted bottoms to help give letters 'gravity,' thus curbing the brain's ability to rotate characters and make them look like other letters."
