A new reading method called “bionic reading” is gaining popularity, with people raving about how much easier it is to read with this font.
Bionic reading is a technique that highlights the first few letters of each word in a text, which helps the reader’s brain to focus on the important parts of the word. This can make it easier to read faster and more efficiently, and it can also help people with dyslexia and other reading difficulties.
The bionic reading font was created by Renato Casutt, a Swiss designer who was inspired by the way that our eyes move when we read. When we read, our eyes tend to jump from one word to the next, and we only focus on the first few letters of each word. Bionic reading takes advantage of this natural reading pattern by highlighting the first few letters of each word, which helps our brains to follow along more easily.
“Bionic Reading aims to play a supporting role in the absorption of volume text,” states the website. “We see technological progress as an opportunity for all those who want to increase the pleasure of reading in a noisy and hectic world in a focused way and without distraction.”
There are a number of studies that have shown that bionic reading can improve reading speed and comprehension. One study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, found that people who used bionic reading were able to read 30% faster than those who did not use it. Another study, published in the journal Dyslexia, found that bionic reading can improve reading comprehension for people with dyslexia.
“This is amazing! I have ADHD and I didn’t even realize that I was having trouble fixating when I read,” wrote one person. “My eye latches right on to the bold face. Can’t wait to try reading a book again. It’s been all audiobooks for a while.”
“It’s incredible how reading this feels like finally unlocking 100% of your brain,” wrote another.
Bionic reading is still a relatively new technique, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way that we read. If you are looking for a way to improve your reading speed and comprehension, then bionic reading is worth a try.
So, what are you waiting for? Give bionic reading a try today and see how much easier it is to read!

It's called bionic reading — the first few letters are bolded, making it easier for readers to glide through text and stay focused.
