‘Flexi-Read’ is a web browser extension which is a tool that allows people who have dyslexia be able to adjust type on the digital screen – ranging from spacing of the characters and words to the weight, height and weight of characters.

‘Flexi-Read’ uses variable fonts as the base typography format as variable fonts allow for more adaptability for different outcomes which helps enable a more unique and tailored adjustments for those who need it most.

During the research period of the project, there were a selection of first-hand interviews conducted, with people who have dyslexia. 

In these interviews, there was an opportunity to develop an understanding of how dyslexia can be visualised and how it bears an emotional impact upon a person’s mental health.
