Font type options
1. User Story
As a user with dyslexia /as someone who needs certain font characteristics to concentrate / who has a different aesthetic font preference,
I want the option to change the font size and font type (such as using cleaner, less rounded sans-serif fonts like Arial or font sizes developed for dyslexia),
So that I can read comfortably, concentrate better, and successfully switch from other tools to Griply without visual fatigue.
2. User Experience Comparison
• What I'm experiencing now: The current typography uses rounder fonts that cause visual friction, making it difficult for dyslexic or mentally fatigued users to read text and maintain focus during work. This is acting as a barrier preventing users from fully switching to Griply.
• What I would like to experience in the future: An interface where I can easily select a preferred readable font type that suits my visual needs, resulting in a smooth and accessible reading experience.
3. Recommended UX Solution
• Key Improvement: Add font customization options (e.g.a selection of legible sans-serif fonts like Arial) in the app settings.
• Suggested Flow:
1. Open account or display settings.
2. Locate the Typography or Accessibility section.
3. Choose a preferred font type and adjust the font size.
4. Save the changes to instantly update the interface text.
• Design & Usability Tips:
• Offer a clear preview of each font style directly in the settings menu so users can test them before applying.
• Keep the font selection list either focused on highly readable, clean typefaces or add more options for users with other aesthetic preferences.
4. Accessibility & Inclusion (a11y)
Dyslexia & Cognitive Support: Providing customizable typography and font scaling directly supports users with dyslexia and cognitive reading differences by reducing visual clutter and improving text legibility.

Font type and size. I don't know how realistic size is but a user with dyslexia mentioned it has an impact also
Linked to Font size is too small in some views
