Lexia Readable

Lexia Readable is a geometric sans-serif typeface, loosely based upon Comic Sans. It was designed specifically to address legibility and readability issues related to dyslexia.

It attempts to avoid some possible dyslexic confusions (e.g. b and d, q and p) by slightly altering the standard shapes. It may be particularly useful for anyone with dyslexia type tendencies by creating clearer distinctions between characters with a similar shape or appearance. The font can be installed on a PC in the usual way but problems occur if a document is to be viewed on a PC that does not have the font installed; the display will probably default to Comic Sans or similar.

Lexia Readable font can be downloaded free from K-Type.
