About Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono Font
Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono, a monospace version of Atkinson Hyperlegible, offers new opportunities for developers with low vision. Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono includes new weights, refined curves, added symbols, and additional language support. Named after the founder of the Braille Institute, Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono has been developed specifically to increase legibility for readers with low vision, and to improve reading comprehension. Having a traditional grotesque sans-serif at its core, it departs from tradition to incorporate unambiguous, distinctive elements—and at times, unexpected forms—always with the goal of increasing character recognition and ultimately improving reading. To contribute, see github.com/googlefonts/atkinson-hyperlegible-next-mono .

For example, the WHO estimates that “losses associated with vision impairment from uncorrected myopia and presbyopia alone were estimated to be US$ 244 billion and US$ 25.4 billion, respectively.” Typeface design can help.
