Maqroo
Maqroo
The first Arabic dyslexic-friendly font – Maqroo (meaning: readable). We worked with the Arabic typeface designers from across the region and analyzed all 650 Arabic fonts with the dyslexic community to track their reading and stress levels. We increased the size of noqat (dots) and tashkeel (glyphs) by 200% and designed each letter to be distinctively recognizable through their irregularities. The font was coded to increase the heights of the letters and made the inner spaces irregular for better readability. Finally, the font was made available for everyone on maqroo.com.
