About:
Atkinson Hyperlegible is a highly legible font family designed by Braille Institute to increase legibility for readers with low vision. It is characterized by its emphasis on letterform distinction to prevent confusion between similar characters. This cask installs the font family for system-wide use on macOS.
Key Features:
  • Designed specifically for low vision users
  • Focuses on character distinction to reduce ambiguity
  • Includes multiple weights and styles
Use Cases:
  • Improving readability for users with visual impairments
  • General purpose terminal or code editor font for enhanced clarity
Alternatives:
  • font-ia-writer – Monospaced fonts like IA Writer often prioritize coding clarity, while Atkinson Hyperlegible focuses on general reading accessibility.
  • font-roboto – Standard system fonts like Roboto are versatile but lack the specific design optimizations for low vision found in Atkinson Hyperlegible.
