FS Me is a typeface/font that has been described as the first to have been designed in consultation with a group of people with learning disabilities[2] and designed for use by this population.[1][3] It was developed by Jason Smith in response to a commission from the charity Mencap in 2008. It was the only font featured in the D&AD Annual 2009 covering advertising and design work.
The digital version of FS Me[4][5] was commissioned by YouView in 2008 as part of the core accessibility specification of the platform that was created by Gareth Ford Williams.
