Description

They have been developed explicitly for visually impaired people and are the result of a two-year collaboration between the Centre Technique Régional pour la Déficience Visuelle (the Regional Technical Center for Visual Impairment) and the type-design studio typographies.fr. This project received a grant from the Swiss Ceres Foundation and support from the textsc{diphe} laboratory at the Université Lumière Lyon~2.
