Andika is a sans serif, Unicode-compliant font designed especially for literacy use, taking into account the needs of beginning readers.
|
|
The focus is on clear, easy-to-perceive letterforms that will not be readily confused with one another.

Starting with an initial draft of a basic lowercase Latin alphabet by Victor Gaultney, Annie Olsen refined the design and added over 4,700 glyphs, including a complete extended Cyrillic set.

A sans serif font is preferred by some literacy personnel for teaching people to read.
|
|
Its forms are simpler and less cluttered than those of most serif fonts.
|
|
For years, literacy workers have had to make do with fonts that were not really suitable for beginning readers and writers.
|
|
In some cases, literacy specialists have had to tediously assemble letters from a variety of fonts in order to get all of the characters they need for their particular language project, resulting in confusing and unattractive publications.
|
|
Andika addresses those issues.
