    Oh, I guess that explains it, as I am not dyslexic

      No, that doesn’t explain it. The font isn’t only readable to dyslexic people lmao

        No but I do understand where they are coming from. Can I read it? Yes. Is it hard to read? No. However for me it is oddly… uncomfortable… to read. Thats the best way I can describe it. I normally scan read the text and the way I understand it is that when people read like this they are looking for the overall shapes of words, not the individual letters, which is why it is possible to misspell the middle letters of words without causing too much issue with comprehension. However for me the way the letters are ‘weighted’ in the font is like a visual speedbump, they draw attention to themselves in a way which, for me, is unwanted and causes me to slow and change how I read each word.

        I’ve noticed it before but I can’t say I particularly care, it isn’t like I’m reading prose. If this helps others then I think it is great that it is being used.

          Thanks for putting it into words for me, that is a great summary. It is irritating to read, but not illegible. I agree that it’s great as an accessibility tool

            Same, it just makes me feel a bit uncomfortable when reading… But as long as it helps other people it’s cool
