I love this hyperlegible one from the Braille Institute: https://www.brailleinstitute.org/freefont/

I'm going to see if I can get this on my Kobo. Thank you for the link!

I love this font I was going to say this too.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I use this, it's good.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

do any applications contain them by default? As much as I like the fonts my email is to much a price to pay given the fonts I use are fine.

[–] ratel@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

You can get it from Google fonts which means you can easily download / import it into another application if that helps. One of the other replies also linked another source. I just provided the official link because they have a nice rationale on the design choices.

It doesn't take my duck.com alias

[–] Pirate@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Came looking for this comment! It’s my favorite font of all time. So clean and legible.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Do I really need to give them an email to download? Why?

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago

They're part of my Linux distro's repo. ttf-atkinson-hyperlegible and otf-atkinson-hyperlegible.

Windows mirror: https://font.download/font/atkinson-hyperlegible

[–] ratel@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

IDK I'm not affiliated with them but maybe use a throwaway email alias.

[–] trk@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

You can just type any old bollocks in there and it reveals the download links.
