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

See: pulibrary/game@2dc143c

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.

@christinach Atkinson Hyperlegible only has support for Latin script based languages and it does not support Greek language, I know because I am working right now on adding Greek language support to Atkinson Hyperlegible Pro you may find the progress report in issue Missing: Greek Language Support.
