This Dyslexic Friendly Edition uses a special 12pt font typeface called Open Dyslexic, which has been developed to address some of the common issues that dyslexics have when reading a typical typeface. Letters are designed with heavy weighted bottoms to indicate direction, which aids in recognizing the correct letter orientation. Even people that do not suffer from dyslexia find Open Dyslexic Font Books easier to read, thanks, in part, to the wider letter spacing the typeface offers. While this is a helpful tool, this is not a cure for dyslexia.
