Atkinson Hyperlegible is an easy to read font for low-vision readers
Atkinson Hyperlegible was carefully developed by the Braille Institute to help low-vision readers. It improves legibility and readability through clear, and distinctive letters and numbers.
When we designed it in 2019, Atkinson Hyperlegible won Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Award.
With more and more people facing visual impairment every year, the opportunity to make a difference in the world is profound.
From space travel to agriculture to blogs to books, thousands across the world are using Atkinson Hyperlegible to reach wider audiences.
Examples include:
Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin website
Billy and the Giant Adventure by Jamie Oliver

The award-winning font has made reading easier for millions of people. And it’s free for everyone—from personal use to all commercial applications.
