It was developed by the Braille Institute of America in collaboration with Applied Design Works and is available under the SIL Open Font License. It won Fast Company's Innovation by Design Award for Graphic Design in 2019 and was shortlisted for a graphic design award by Dezeen in 2020. In 2025, the Braille Institute released Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, an enhanced version of the font with variable weight and an expanded character set to support more languages, along with a monospaced version.
