Why These Fonts Help
Fonts like OpenDyslexic and Lexend aren't just different looking. They're built with specific features that make reading easier:
Letters that don't flip: The letters "b" and "d" or "p" and "q" look different enough that your brain won't mix them up.
More space between letters: Reduces that crowded feeling where letters seem to blur together.
Heavier bottoms on letters: Keeps letters anchored so they don't seem to float or move around.
Consistent letter heights: Your eyes can follow the line more smoothly without jumping around.
These small changes add up. Many readers find they can read faster, understand more, and feel less tired after reading.
