Comment on How do fonts for people with dyslexia work?

Others have shared the general design ethos behind fonts for people who experience dyslexia, just adding to the conversation, there is little to no evidence of their effectiveness, however:

The authors also comment that there is no harm or reason to discourage children from reading in Dyslexie, if they wish; however, a cautionary note is also voiced that, as with all controversial therapies, resources expended for Dyslexie should not “shift focus … from interventions that have been proven effective.”

It likely doesn’t hurt, but dont expect a miracle cure. I personally use Atkinson Hyperlegible (Next + Mono) because I appreciate the lack of ambiguity between certain characters (Il1|O0). More for coding/technical tasks than reading.
