Dyslexia
a typeface that creates empathy and understanding
Dyslexia is a typeface that creates empathy for and understanding of the challenges posed to dyslexics. This typeface recreates the feeling of reading with Dyslexia for a non Dyslexic person therefore creating empathy and understanding for the problem. Like in any case only once a problem is fully understood can it be solved. By removing around 40% of the letterform, the typeface slows the user down to the average pace of dyslexic reading, obliging the reader to focus and engage with the text as any dyslexic person would. By enlisting accomplished readers in the strenuous process of dyslexic reading, Dyslexia fosters global understanding of a common learning difficulty.
