Fast-Font is an open-source OpenType font that bolds initial letters of words to create artificial fixation points, guiding the eye and enabling faster reading (bionic-reading style). It ships in five variations including serif, sans, monospaced for coding, and a dyslexia-friendly version.
Use cases
- read e-books and articles faster with bionic-style highlighting
- use a speed-reading font in MS Word or other OpenType-aware apps
- get a monospaced bionic font for coding with ligatures
- find a dyslexia-friendly font with fixation points
- convert PDFs to bionic-reading format
- try speed reading by focusing on spaces between words
When to choose
- you want a free, open-source bionic-reading font usable in any OpenType-supporting application
- you need multiple variations including monospaced and dyslexic-friendly versions
- you want to self-host or embed the font in websites or documents
When to avoid
- you need automatic text highlighting in a web app rather than a font file
- your application does not support OpenType contextual alternates
- you find bolded fixation points distracting rather than helpful
