EasyReading font is a typeface designed for childhood literacy. It supports the basic Latin, Latin Extended-A and some of the Latin Extended-B blocks of Unicode, covering most languages written in Latin script. It was created by Federico Alfonsetti to help readers with dyslexia and to increase reading speed.[1][2]
EasyReading has a hybrid semi-serif design. It has widely spaced kerning compared to most typefaces.
Erik Spiekermann claims that Easyreading is a mere copy of his ITC Officina Font.[3]
