"Growing concern about vision impairment has made the century-old
nonprofit Braille Institute rethink its approach and reach out to serve
more people. That led to the creation of a new typeface called Atkinson
Hyperlegible—the winner of our 2019 Innovation by Design Awards for
Graphic Design. It’s a typeface that, at first glance, looks like any
other. But it’s been carefully and quirkily designed for people who
cannot usually read type very well."

Via Jennifer Freeman, who wrote "Neat idea".
