I'm dyslexic and I love this idea! However this font is much harder to read.
Here are my trouble letters in this font: http://i.imgur.com/ilkUV.png http://i.imgur.com/ilkUV.png
Note that there is no indication what letters these are other than by direction (which is really hard for many dyslexics).
Compare this to a regular font: http://i.imgur.com/mbi54.png http://i.imgur.com/mbi54.png
Note that there are hints in the serifs that distinguish direction.
By reversing the regular serif font, you can see these hints: http://i.imgur.com/t1sxB.png= http://i.imgur.com/t1sxB.png=
Also, the kerning is pretty bad: http://i.imgur.com/A9PJk.png http://i.imgur.com/A9PJk.png
- antijingoist 14y agoThere are several versions of the font available, and the newest on github and dafont have some of those issues fixed. There are Windows specific issues, and those are being worked on.
- aufreak3 14y agoI'm not dyslexic, but I still checked out the fonts expecting them to bump up readability even for me. Usually, if some product is made to be usable by folks who have difficulty with something, it turns out to work better for folks who don't have that problem (kitchen implements come to mind). That didn't turn out to be true in this case. I went "ouch!" when I looked at the page. Do you find this font giving you an overall bump in readability over the standard fonts?
