A new typeface designed to help children with dyslexia learn to read has been developed. The new font, Read Regular, looks like ordinary text but avoids using letterforms that can be confusing to people with dyslexia ( for example, b, d, q, and p, which can be inverted or mirrored to look alike). Though Read Regular has not been scientifically tested, anecdotal feedback has been extremely positive. This article appears in The Guardian (U.K.).
