Episode 26 - Christian Boer Founder of Dyslexie font

In this podcast, Shae speaks with Christian Boer the creator of Dyslexie font. Christian has been affected by dyslexia as long as he can remember, this experience inspired him to design a solution to improve readability for people with dyslexia – the Dyslexie font. Christian combined his graphic design skill with his dyslexia, abandoning traditional typeface design rules, favouring instead the user needs of a dyslexic person.

Christian dreams of the day when being able to use Dyslexie font won’t be an exception; but at everyone’s disposal, just like any other font. He hopes to change the negative image – that dyslexia is a shortcoming – and emphasize the positive sides of dyslexia, such as creativity and 3-dimensional visual thinking.

Shae really hopes you enjoy this exciting podcast about creativity and teh lived experience of dyslexia.
