'Gravity' Font To Help The Dyslexic. Words Never Danced Better.
A New Hampshire-based mobile app designer, Abelardo Gonzalez, has come up with a new font called 'OpenDyslexic', which has letters with heavier bottoms- which render 'gravity' to the letters and restrains them from dancing and turning over in a dyslexic reader's mind.

Brain does some amusing things to the written words, believes Abelardo, and OpenDyslexic attempts to address a few of these very 'amusements' from occurring. Uniformly loaded bottoms can also aid in fortifying the line of text. The distinctive form of each letter can help avoid the flipping and swapping. The designer also launched OpenWeb, a free web-browser running this font, earlier this year. Similar fonts existed, but they were so impractical that they did not justify their costs, he stated, and so he proceeded to develop an open source which would be accessible to everyone, and where everyone can contribute to better the fonts in one way or the other. The response this font has generated so far has been amazing.
