Comic Sans is the most polarising font to date, due to its highly asymmetrical nature. While this irregularity makes it popular amongst the dyslexic community, it is also what makes designers despise it so much.

So, we decided to launch a campaign that faces designers with their arch-nemesis, wherever they looked, there was Comic Sans wittingly calling on them to adopt a more inclusive mindset. Not by overlooking their hatred of it and using it, but by designing new fonts that are both dyslexia-friendly and worthy of their designs at the same time.

By using Comic Sans as the hero of our direct campaign, we were guaranteed to grab the attention of the people who can influence change when it comes to design inclusivity. The campaign uses the most hated font by the design world, which also happens to be the most favoured font by dyslexic people, to challenge designers to bridge the gap between aesthetics and function. And that is by creating fonts that are both dyslexia-friendly and beautiful at the same time.

The campaign ran during Dyslexia Awareness Month (October 2022). First, we targeted the world’s top designers with personalised messages on their Instagram. Then we challenged them everywhere they looked, on street posters, postcards in design bookstores, and with ads in industry magazines such as Form, Slanted, and Daddy.

Finally, we launched a new dyslexia-friendly typeface created by a renowned typography designer. The font named “Inconstant Regular” proves that function and beauty do not have to be mutually exclusive.

The campaign as well as the new font were featured on WeTransfer, leading to an international creative community of 87 million users every month to see our campaign.

In turn, driving an army of designers to our website, where they learned more about dyslexia and how to create dyslexia-friendly fonts.

The campaign caught the eye of the design and creative industries, sparking reactions and conversations on social media.
