Introduction
This new extension of the original Luciole project was made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Regional Technical Center for Visual Impairment, the type-design studio typographies.fr and the mathematician Daniel Flipo. The project was fortunate to receive a grant from the association PEP69 and support from the association GUTenberg.
The aim was to create a new reference font for the sciences that would be both more accessible and capable of responding to the various applications of mathematics, from engineering to teaching.







About
Mathematics and visual impairment
In recent years, Luciole has gradually established itself as a promising new typographical standard in the field of visual impairment in France. It is being adopted by leading publishers and hundreds of professionals in the field of visual impairment, including transcribers, teachers, developers, and orthoptists.
We believe that Luciole Math can serve as a valuable addition to Luciole, offering visually impaired students and researchers an accessible and professional tool for university studies, research and teaching.

A powerful editorial tool
Luciole Math contains over 3,000 characters, in compliance with Unicode to ensure compatibility with equation editors. It has been developed using a professional character set, in line with the main recommendations of the American Mathematical Society.
Luciole Math contains the Latin and Greek letters in four variants, calligraphic, fraktur and blackboard bold letters. The typeface has been designed with the aim of ensuring optimum legibility for visually impaired readers, while at the same time making it easy to use for research and teaching professionals.

A typeface for mathematics
The design of Luciole Math is based on a combination of tests and studies carried out as part of the Luciole project, as well as valuable feedback from readers since the project was launched. In addition, more specific tests were carried out during the development of Luciole Math with expert users, with a particular focus on the technical dimension and legibility issues specific to a scientific typeface.
As with the Luciole project, our intention is not only to make Luciole Math available free of charge, but also to present and share this work and its methodology as widely as possible.
