I was listening to a Fresh Air interview with Henry Winkler, who is severely dyslexic, and he was singing the praises of Dyslexic typefaces which almost all are sans-serif versions. He said it was a godsend to him. I never heard of dyslexic typefaces before. I am partially dyslexic while my father had the full-blown version. If you google dyslexic typeface, there are several versions. In my collection of 18 typewriters, only one, a SMC Coronet Electric, is sans-serif in elite font. It was promoted to be easier to read even before dyslexia was well known. Are there other manufacturers who had this as well? I have always believed that my own dyslexia, with the inability to spell well, made me a very poor touch typist and I have always been a two fingered typist but since getting into typewriters my speed has improved a bit. Still have to check spelling sometimes.

Fonts designed specifically as an intervention for dyslexia are a very recent phenomenon - i.e. in the last 10 years or so - so you won't find any typewriters with them.

Robmck: There have been sans-sarif fonts though. My Coronet Electric that has that font is from the early to mid 1960's. There must have been other manufacturers who had it also.

I discovered too late that the Typewriter Repair Manual has a host of examples by many manufacturers listed in the back. My particular SCM Coronet Electric has a type slug #86 labeled "Classic Elite".
