# Dyslexia Fonts

### What are Dyslexia Fonts?

Dyslexia fonts are typefaces that are designed to make reading easier for people with dyslexia. These fonts have specific features that make them easier to read, such as larger spaces between letters, different letter shapes, and thicker strokes. The goal of dyslexia fonts is to make reading less challenging for people with dyslexia by reducing the number of errors and improving reading speed.
