This is OpenDyslexic, recreated in SIL-OFL. antijingoist/opendyslexic will be the official OpenDyslexic repo. It is an opensource typeface that aims to help with some of the symptoms of dyslexia, as defined by the DSM-V.
The Bitstream license was too restrictive, and my attempts at clarifying what was allowed (pretty much anything) just confused everything even more. I should have also done it from the start.
* OpenDyslexic aims to use unique letter shapes to make recognizing text easier.
* Longer ascenders and descenders to better distinguish caps, lowercase, and similar lowercase letters.
* Bolder bottoms of letters to communicate orientation, and better help differentiate between letters like pqdb. Similar to having an underlined _6_ so the similar looking 6 and 9 can be told apart in a game.
* Bolder punctuation shows more clearly.
* Wider spacing for easier tracking.
* Lower contrast design to help with glare/blindness: the occasional blank paper with text on it.
Open-Dyslexic submissions were messy because they mostly came in compiled typeface files, creating a lot of work in comparing files, properly pulling them from the compiled typeface and moving them over to the app native source being used.
If you need a form for your school or business, create a support request (support.abbiecod.es) and please be patient. 🤞🏼 You can speed up turn around time by asking for the information you need for the form separately, or pre-filling the parts you know.
