## About Atkinson Hyperlegible Next

Atkinson Hyperlegible Next is a sans serif family whose letterforms are drawn so that similar characters differ visibly. In the specimen the zero carries a diagonal slash, the lowercase q ends in a short tail turned to the right, the lowercase l curves at its foot, and the capital I has horizontal bars, so I, l and 1 cannot be mistaken for one another. The family is variable along a weight axis from 200 to 800, with seven named weights from ExtraLight to ExtraBold and an italic for each, 14 styles in total. Google Fonts credits Braille Institute, Applied Design Works, Elliott Scott, Megan Eiswerth and Letters From Sweden; the font's name table also lists Linus Boman and Theodore Petrosky. The 392 glyphs cover the Latin and Latin Extended subsets. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Forms, codes and reference numbers**: A slashed zero and distinct I, l and 1 reduce misreadings in passwords, serials and booking codes.
- **App and web interfaces**: Seven weights from ExtraLight 200 to ExtraBold 800 cover labels, buttons, headings and fine print in one family.
- **Reading text with emphasis**: Every weight has an italic, so body copy, quotations and bold-italic warnings stay in the same design.
- **Printed notices and instructions**: Clearly separated character shapes help short instructions on leaflets, labels and handouts.

## Things to know

- **Weight axis 200 to 800**: The variable files span ExtraLight to ExtraBold. There is no Thin 100 or Black 900.
- **Two variable files**: The package holds one roman and one italic variable file. Static instances are available from the official source.
- **Latin only**: The subsets are Latin and Latin Extended; Cyrillic and Greek are not in these files.
