Add Atkinson Hyperlegible fonts to Proton Drive apps for better accessibility
While the font selections are currently lacking, the need for accessible fonts such as the Atkinson Hyperlegible collection or fonts designed for dyslexics is critical. Those with accessibility needs are particularly vulnerable in the current political climate in North America, and accessibility to privacy tools is thus critical.

Definitely agree! Atkinson Hyperlegible is fantastic and uses the Open Font License, which I believe means it would be a very easy win for Proton to add it to Docs, Sheets, and any other authoring tools they build.

Currently there is no accessible font available on Proton Docs, which is highly limiting for those with common neurodevelopmental conditions like dyslexia.
I wanted to specifically recommend Lexend, as it is dyslexia friendly, looks professional, and is open-source so would not incur licencing costs to Proton unlike some alternatives.
Edit: I've not come across the Atkinson font family before. It's probably a better alternative to lexend as it comes in more styles and weights.
