Atkinson Hyperlegible Pro is an update to the original typeface designed for The Braille Institute and named after its founder J. Robert Atkinson. It departs from traditional typographic design to incorporate unambiguous, distinctive letterforms to increase character recognition, ultimately improving legibility and readability for low-vision readers.
