Andika is a sans-serif font family designed and optimized especially for use as a literacy font. It supports a near-complete range of Unicode characters for the Latin and Cyrillic scripts. These two scripts are used to write thousands of languages around the world.
In addition, Andika includes a comprehensive range of diacritics and character variants, making it an excellent literacy font. Also included is a large set of symbols useful for linguistic notation and description.
Many literacy specialists prefer creating materials with a sans serif font – one in which the letters have no “little feet” – for teaching both children and adults to read. For years, these reading specialists have had to make do with fonts that were not really suitable for beginning readers and writers. In some cases, they have had to hunt for and then tediously assemble letters from a variety of fonts in order to get all of the characters they need for their particular language. This results in potentially confusing publications.
The Andika literacy font addresses these and other issues with clear, simply designed letters. This facilitates letter recognition, a skill second only to distinguishing sounds in learning to read.
