Atkinson Hyperlegible 字体
Atkinson Hyperlegible Font
2022 — 2024，它一次次回到首页
黑点是上首页（≥ 50 分）的那次投稿，空心点是没冲上去的投稿，点越大分数越高。
导读
这是盲人研究所（Braille Institute）推出的免费字体 Atkinson Hyperlegible 的页面，字体设计重点是让易混淆字符更容易区分，从而提升低视力读者的可读性。页面提供字体获取信息，不过有评论指出官网入口不够直观，字体也可在 Google Fonts 上找到。
为什么经久不衰：它把无障碍可读性设计带进大众视野，也引发了对字体主观性、编程字体和可量化评估标准的持续讨论，因此多年后仍值得一看。

等宽化后有望成为优秀编程字体，因为编程同样依赖区分相似字符。
只要稍作调整、加入等宽变体，它就能成为很好的编程字体。编程字体的目标基本相同：让相似字符（1liI|、0O 等）彼此可区分。写代码天然考验视觉敏锐度，我们想尽量多看到内容，就可能用比舒适阅读正文更小的字号；单个字母和标点往往很重要。因此超清晰字体能帮助程序员，即使视力很好也有用，很多编程字体已经具备类似特性。

With a few tweaks (monospaced variant), it could make a great coding font. Coding fonts have essentially the same goal: make similar looking characters different: 1liI|, 0O, etc... Code naturally strains our visual acuity: we want to see as much as possible, it means that we may use a smaller font size than we would find comfortable reading text with. Single letter, punctuation, etc... can be really important, in regular text, you can understand even if you can't read all the characters. So a hyperlegible font can help coders, even those with good vision, and many coding fonts already have "hyperlegible" features.
官网不易找到字体，Google Fonts 是更直接的获取渠道。
我也觉得这个网站让人困惑，不过字体可以在这里获取：https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Atkinson+Hyperlegible

字体偏好主观，字符区分度不等于整词阅读流畅，需在正文实测并考虑文化背景。
提醒一下，字体是主观的。这款字体适合特定人群，并非所有人。我用不了，因为觉得它过于圆润且带些小毛病。另一个同样以易读为目标但偏方正的字例是 Tiresias Screenfont。提高可读性并不等于“流畅”：每个字符更“独特”，不代表整个单词就能轻松处理；重要的是在正文中评估。文化背景也绝对会影响字体偏好。如果你成长于德文哥特体环境，未必会喜欢或欣赏无衬线字体。德国从哥特体转向拉丁字形是相当近的事（二战时期）；类似转变现在也在发生，哈萨克斯坦已决定停用西里尔字母、改用拉丁字母。

Reminder that fonts are subjective. This one is good for specific people, not everyone. I can't use it because I find it overly rounded with tics. An example of a font that is also meant to be legible, but is on the squarish side, is Tiresias Screenfont. Increased legibility does NOT mean "flow". Just because each character is more "distinct" does not mean that the whole word is able to be processed with ease. Important to evaluate them in body text. Also, one's cultural background absolutely affects which fonts are preferred. If you grew up with German blackletter writing, you're not necessarily going to like or appreciate a sans-serif font. In Germany's case, the change from blackletter to latin shapes happened fairly recently (WW2). It's happening now again, Kazakhstan has decided to stop using cyrillic and change to latin characters.
应建立标准可读性测试，用可量化分数代替主观的“更好”说法。
我觉得应该有一套标准测试，让任何字体都能跑一遍，以证明它们想宣称的各种属性。别只告诉我“更好”，告诉我“在标准字体评估测试中可读性得分 8.6”。

I feel as though there should be a standard set of tests that any or all fonts run through to demonstrate the various properties they want to claim. Don't tell me "better", tell me "Scored an 8.6 on legibility in the standard font assessment test".
