Notes

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

@christinach I recommend using Atkinson Hyperlegible Pro because the original typeface hasn't been updated since its release. I have added 199 extra glyphs supporting 91 languages including Vietnamese.
