Dyslexie is a font created to help people with dyslexia. The western alphabet can be confusing because some of the letters can look similar. It adds shadows to the bottom of the font and distorts the letters in certain ways. This makes the letters look different. The font helps people with dyslexia no longer confuse letters.

People with dyslexia treat letters as 3D objects. This can be a problem with reading.

Key Takeaways:

1
Dyslexie aims to help dyslexic learners in their reading difficulty.
