Dyslexia Scotland launched a campaign that forces designers to face their arch-nemesis. Wherever they looked, there was Comic Sans wittingly calling on them to adopt a more inclusive mindset – not by overlooking their hatred of it and using it, but by designing new fonts that are both dyslexia-friendly and worthy of their designs at the same time.
