Aravis Dyslexia Friendly Fonts: Desktop User Licence

Aravis Dyslexia-friendly Font:

• Amazingly easy on the eye; designed to draw the reader in with minimal brain bandwidth used to enable more focus on the content.
• Our mission has been to create a font that is scientifically designed to be dyslexia friendly while also being attractive and useful.
• Aravis is Crossbow’s house font, and is being used throughout our catalogue, new publications and website.
• It is an International font with over 1500 characters with all 72 latinate languages.
• Includes: maths symbols, small capitals, some ‘wingdings’ (ticks, smiley faces etc).

Dyslexia features include:

• Each letter is unique even if reversed or flipped. 
• The spacing is carefully designed using scientific evidence to help all readers from those who read via word shapes to those who read using phoneme and syllables. 
• The Visual Stress caused by pattern glare is minimised in comparison to other common fonts when measured by professionals.
• Mid-sized font to make it easy to convert artwork from common fonts. This is very helpful when providing reasonable adjustments for students with Dyslexia. 
• Based on algorithms found in nature.

“We use Aravis exclusively now in our dyslexia reports and ​widely in our respective schools, as well as recommending it to a great many schools and individuals. It really is fabulous and is so much 'easier on the eye', even for those without a visual processing difficulty. Please continue with the wonderful work you do at Crossbow and thank you once again for such an amazing creation that will help so many people."
