Design

The design process is based on the opinions of special education teachers, reading errors and readability research. as a result of the design process, Accessible font came up with five versions, eight sets and six weights(v.1, v.5). In this context, the typeface design allows the teachers to change the font design according to the mistakes made by the student in reading education and their needs in learning to letter or words. version 1 and version 5 are prepared for long texts as legible structure. Version 2, 3 and 4 are designed to reduce students' reading errors and help to learn phonics. Accessible font design is unique no font has been prepared before according to these features and the ways. The version 2, 3 and 4 has been prepared by going beyond the conventional type design. In order to achieve this, the most common letterforms pairs that cause misreadings were identified by research, and new features (serif or stimuli) were added or redesign again to reduce to similarities between similar letterforms (as an example b-d, p-q-g, n-m, I-l-i,). The serifs that applied on the letterforms have placed to different directions than each other in order to identify letterforms structure easily. Each version has unique features please check the version features to understand the differences in the design process.

Version 1

Version 1 has six weight and two set features. It is compatible for web and printing. Accessible typeface family was created based on the practices of the educators, typeface designers and researchers in the fields of psychology. The aim of the typeface study is to find solutions to the problems of the individuals who have difficulties in reading and the process of learning to read.

Accessible Font was designed with a large x-height, large dotes, diacritics characters, legible structure, large letter-spacing (side bearings), different letterform combinations and reducing similarities between letterforms. The Accessible stand out with extended characters that support almost 200 Latin-based languages, covering math symbols, punctuation, and currencies.

Accessible font family is a simple and harmonious appearance as well as it offers great customization support to the pedagogues with differences in letterform design and stylistic combinations. As a result, a typeface is appeared to meet the individual requirements in which the teachers can change the character design according to students needs.
