Inclusive Sans: Accessibility Through Typography
Inclusive Sans (available on Google Fonts) is a typeface designed with one purpose in mind: to make reading more accessible for everyone. It’s a text font crafted for clarity, readability, and inclusivity — because accessibility should be the default, not the exception.
This project has been a labour of love for over three years, and it’s still growing. I’ve poured countless hours into drawing, refining, and testing Inclusive Sans, working with accessibility research and user testing to ensure it not only meets rigorous legibility standards but also feels contemporary, welcoming, and human.
Why it matters
Typography shapes the way we read the world. Fonts that are designed without accessibility in mind can exclude millions of readers. By keeping Inclusive Sans open source and freely available on Google Fonts, I want to make sure that anyone — from individuals to schools, publishers, and organisations — can use it to make their communication more inclusive.
Where your donations go
Your support will help me continue developing Inclusive Sans and expanding its reach. Specifically, donations will fund:
1. Expanding the family to additional weights (from ultra-thin to extra-bold).
2. Adding more language support so more communities can read with ease.
3. Running user research and feedback sessions to keep improving readability.
4. Ongoing maintenance and updates to ensure the font remains robust.
5. Stretch goal: developing Inclusive Serif — a companion typeface designed with the same inclusive principles.
Why GoFundMe?
Inclusive Sans will always remain open source and free to use. That means it doesn’t generate income on its own — but the time, research, and development behind it are significant. Your donations will directly fund the next stages of this work and help make accessible typography the standard, not the exception.
Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference in making reading more inclusive for everyone.
