Dyslexie is a typeface/font that was designed with the intention of mitigating some of the issues that dyslexics experience when reading. As many of the twenty-six letters of the basic Latin alphabet are visually very similar, the typeface emphasizes the parts of the letter that are different from each other.[3]
There is no evidence that the font aids reading, neither in those with, nor without, dyslexia.[4]
