Atkinson Hyperlegible, named after the founder of the Braille Institute, has been developed specifically to increase legibility for readers with low vision, and to improve comprehension.
Having a traditional grotesque sans-serif at its core, it departs from tradition to incorporate unambiguous, distinctive elements—and at times, unexpected forms—always with the goal of increasing character recognition and ultimately improve reading.
Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono is an entirely new typeface inspired by Atkinson Hyperlegible. The characters in a monospace typeface all occupy the same width, allowing for them to be scanned quickly in table-based and coding environments. The glyphs in Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono are newly created for this variation, and unique to the typeface.
