@bersl2 @alis it's a fairly legible font with letters that are distinct from each other - which is what actually helps legibility. same reason Atkinson Hyperlegible is good for some dyslexic people, even though it was designed for low-vision.
the article is talking about fonts like Dyslexie, which are overall less legible but the trade-off was theoretically that they'd be better for dyslexia
