As a child, Klaus Krogh, reported that words would “bounce on the page” when he tried to read them. He suffered from dyslexia. The Copenhagen, Denmark, native later founded a typographic firm 2K/Denmark. For forty years he has been creating new typefaces, especially for the Bible, to help people with reading disabilities.
After five years of testing and development, Klaus released “Grace,” a dyslexia-friendly typeface. Lifeway Christian Resources and Crossway are now using it to produce new editions of the Bible for dyslexic youth and adults. In 2024, the U.K.-based Bible Society (founded over 200 years ago as the British and Foreign Bible Society) released its Good News Bible translation, the first physical collection of the Bible for dyslexic readers.
Klaus now has a new vision. Since dyslexia symptoms differ from person to person, he is working on a customizable typeface. Individual users can customize parameters of the Grace typeface online and download a personalized version of a publication for themselves.
Sandra Peoples, who had dyslexia as a child and now is a disability consultant for the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention, expressed her excitement – “We’ve come so far!” Dyslexics are praising God for godly servants like Klaus. They now have better access to the life-changing Word of God.
