Andika is a sans serif, Unicode-compliant font designed especially for
literacy use, taking into account the needs of beginning readers. 
The focus is on clear, easy-to-perceive letterforms that will not be readily
confused with one another.

Starting with an initial draft of a basic lowercase Latin alphabet by Victor
Gaultney, Annie Olsen refined the design and added over 4,700 glyphs,
including a complete extended Cyrillic set.

A sans serif font is preferred by some literacy personnel for teaching people
to read. 
Its forms are simpler and less cluttered than those of most serif fonts. 
For years, literacy workers have had to make do with fonts that were not
really suitable for beginning readers and writers. 
In some cases, literacy specialists have had to tediously assemble letters
from a variety of fonts in order to get all of the characters they need for
their particular language project, resulting in confusing and unattractive
publications. 
Andika addresses those issues.

The font has been upgraded in May 2022. This upgrade gives additional weight
styles and expands the glyphset to support full Latin and Cyrillic characters
sets. Rendering is also much improved.
