Five presets built for a specific reading need or purpose, rather than the general fiction looks in Popular or Genre & Industry, including two accessibility-focused options.
What You Can Do
- Apply Legible or Dyslexic for a manuscript designed around reading accessibility, without manually researching and setting typography best practices yourself.
- Apply Chroma, Academic, or Epic for other purpose-built looks: screen-first reading, academic-style formatting, or an epic/classical feel.
The 5 Specialized Formats Presets
- Chroma: Inter · Block · Screen-First
- Legible: Atkinson Hyperlegible · 12pt · High Clarity
- Dyslexic: OpenDyslexic · 12pt · Ivory Background
- Academic: Inter · JetBrains Mono · Indigo Blue
- Epic: Cardo · Cinzel · Roman Numerals
A Couple of Things Worth Knowing
💡 Legible and Dyslexic use fonts purpose-built for readability, Atkinson Hyperlegible and OpenDyslexic respectively, not just a larger size of a standard font.
💡 Dyslexic's ivory background is a deliberate accessibility choice, not a stylistic one. Reduced-contrast backgrounds are a common accommodation for readers with dyslexia.
FAQ
Are the Legible and Dyslexic presets meant for print, EPUB, or both?
Both, like every Deckle preset, they apply across PDF, EPUB, and DOCX, so the accessibility choices carry through however you export.
Can I combine Dyslexic's font with a different color scheme?
Yes, every setting a preset applies stays editable afterward, including font choice and colors independently.
