Edition 81, December 2022
OpenDyslexic is a new open-sourced font created to increase readability for readers with dyslexia. The typeface includes regular, bold, italic, and bold-italic styles.
OpenDyslexic is a free-to-use typeface designed against some common symptoms of dyslexia. Letters have heavy weighted bottoms to indicate direction. We can quickly figure out which part of the letter is down which aids in recognizing the correct letter, and sometimes helps to keep the brain from rotating them around. Consistently weighted bottoms can also help reinforce the line of text. The unique shapes of each letter can help prevent confusion through flipping and swapping.
The newest version of OpenDyslexic now uses the SIL-OFL license, giving the freedom to use it for personal use, business use, education, commercial, books, ebook readers, applications, websites, and any other project or purpose.
