Atkinson hyperlegible Font focuses on letterform distinction to increase character recognition and improve readability.

See: https://github.com/pulibrary/Rails-project-Liz/commit/2dc143c30d5541d0ff1207a9c0ca45880c0061c4

Deque University is using Atkinson.

We discussed this ticket during our Orangelight meeting on 12/7/2023. @escowles will bring this up to DSSG. We will keep the branch deployed in catalog-qa at least for a week from now so that subject experts on different languages can review the new font and provide feedback.
