About Didact Gothic Fonts

Didact Gothic is a sans-serif font designed to present each letter in the form most often used in elementary classrooms. This makes it suitable for literacy efforts.

Initially designed by Daniel Johnson, the entire font was revised by Alexei Vanyashin at Cyreal in 2017. To contribute, see github.com/ossobuffo/didact-gothic
