What people are saying about the font:

“We use Aravis exclusively now in our dyslexia reports and widely in our respective schools, as well as recommending it to a great many schools and individuals. It really is fabulous and is so much ‘easier on the eye’, even for those without a visual processing difficulty. Please continue with the wonderful work you do at Crossbow and thank you once again for such an amazing creation that will help so many people.” – Pamela Hanigan, LDIGS (Lancashire Dyslexia Information Guidance and Support)
