What is your favorite font and coloured overlays (if used)?

[mangera]

Hi

I'm doing a Dyslexia Awareness Campaign for a university project and as part of my research i would to know;

Do you use specific fonts and if so which ones?

Do you use coloured overlays and if so which colour do you find most effective?

Need this to create a campaign which could be seen by all.

Hello,

I have just been diagnosed with dyslexia and dyspraxia. My

favourite fonts to use are sans serif or calibra in 12 point and 1.5 line spacing. As yet I don't have colour overlays but may be getting some of these soon.

Hope this helps

I prefer yellow,

Ariel 11 or Tahoma 11. I'm happy with black on white, as long as the contrast is clear. I deal better with separated boxes of text rather than vast tracts...

I have dyslexia and Irlen syndrome, I use font size 12 in calibre and I use Green and yellow colour overlays together. Good luck with your project

Thank you all for your responses the main reason for asking the questions is I'm designing a poster and e-Book as well as some other literature for my final major project (Dyslexia Awareness Campaign ) and i needed some primary research so this has really helped.

Thank you all again.

I use Arial 12 and blue overlay or paper. When using a pc I use a green background. Hope that helps

My colour keeps changing. It started as pink, then blue, then orange. I tend to use blue on my computer screen when my eyes begin to play up and I have my exams at university printed on orange paper. Fonts don't really make a difference to me. I struggle with all of them.
