Andika
Google Fonts · 2004
A literacy-focused sans-serif designed for beginner readers, with unambiguous letterforms and generous spacing for maximum clarity.
About
Andika was developed by SIL International with the specific goal of supporting early literacy and language learning, making it a specialist tool rather than a general-purpose typeface. Its single-storey 'a' and 'g', open apertures, and wide default spacing minimise the risk of character confusion for developing readers. It is widely used in educational materials, language documentation, and resources for readers with dyslexia.
Classification
Andika is specifically designed for literacy and beginner readers, featuring unambiguous single-storey letterforms and generous spacing to reduce confusion between similar characters. It prioritises clarity over stylistic refinement.
