Built on typographic and neuroscience research, it blends subtle optical anchoring, balanced spacing, and improved rhythm to make text feel easier to read — without sacrificing design quality.

I live with both ADHD and dyslexia, and EasyType started as a personal experiment to make long reading sessions less tiring. Every decision in this project is shaped by that need for calmer, more efficient reading.

As someone managing ADHD and dyslexia, I felt the lack of those cues daily, so the design brief was simple: build a type family that helps my own eyes stay anchored and focused first, then open-source it for everyone else who needs the same support.
