This Font Simulates What It's Like To Have Dyslexia

In the world of advertising, most campaign posters are designed to be read easily by anyone from a distance and at close range.

What marks graphic designer Daniel Britton’s font as distinct is that, when formed into complete sentences, the words are a challenge to read in order to emulate exactly how frustrating dyslexia can be.

Believing dyslexia to be misunderstood and under-researched, Britton designed the font and these images in his final year at university to raise awareness of the condition.

Britton broke down each letter into its component parts and removed sections to make the letter harder to recognize immediately. Daniel Britton.

“The rhetoric about people with dyslexia is that they’re stupid, they’re lazy, they’re not trying,” Britton told MailOnline. “When people try to simulate dyslexia, they’ll make some letters blurry, put an "e" back to front and open up the spaces between words.”

As someone with dyslexia, Britton felt that campaigns that used such techniques didn't do the condition justice.
