A graphic designer has created a “dyslexia” typeface to help people understand the frustration people, like ³ÉÈËXÕ¾ Radio’s John Curley, with the disability experience while reading.

According to the Dan Britton, diagnosed with dyslexia, removed about 40 percent of each letter in the alphabet to create the typeface. It’s not exactly what they see on the page, but aimed at slowing a normal reader down to let them experience the pace at which a person with dyslexia reads.

“It simulates the frustration and the work and the outright embarrassment of reading with disability,” Britton told the Post.

“I got tested my senior year, I failed fourth grade twice…” Curley said. “You just feel terrible about school and terrible about your self.”

Curley said when he had to read aloud in school, he’d count heads, determine his paragraph, and practice reading his ahead of time.

At “Evening Magazine,” he’d have his co-worker, Daryl, read the scripts to him ahead of time.
