Comment on How do fonts for people with dyslexia work?

Not an expert, but the way I understand it is that, instead of b and d looking the same, and p and q looking the same, all rightward facing loops are italicized, and all leftward facing loops are left very round, so a brain that has trouble with mirroring images won’t get confused. They also use serifs, so a capital I and a small L aren’t similar.

Weirdly enough, I, someone without dyslexia, find these fonts so difficult to read.

Opposite for me, I use these fonts where available despite not being dyslexic. I can read just fine but it can strain my eyes to focus since I have really bad astigmatism and also an immune system disorder that causes inflammation in my dominant eye, a lot of stuff can trigger flare ups so I try to reduce eye strain wherever possible.

I use e-ink whenever I’m not doing work. Easier on the eyes.
