Easyreading is a font designed to support all the Latin alphabet-based typefaces existing in the world, from Turkish to Indonesian and Swedish ones. It was created by Federico Alfonsetti with a Design for All methodological approach to help dyslectics in reading with less difficulty and faster, while being a high readability font also for typical readers.[1][2]
Easyreading is the only typeface in the world, so far, that an independent scientific research has certified as "a valid compensatory tool for readers with dyslexia and at the same time a facilitating font for all types of readers" (translated from Italian).[3][4]
