Comment on The Fakoo Alphabetparent

Comments

The similarity that I'm talking about (letters with excessively similar shapes) is a hindrance, not a help. Specially because, as you said, we don't read words letter-by-letter; if the shapes are too similar you need to pay more attention to each one of them, otherwise everything becomes a jumbled mess.

I'm not blind, mind you, although I can read Braille by touch. And sometimes I feel like Braille is the tactile version of this: https://www.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/r... - sure, you can decode the letters, but you waste seconds doing so.

Fakoo doesn't address that, and I feel that it's a more pressing concern than making the letters look like Latin letters.
