My sister has dyslexia and confirmed that it’s so much easier for her to read. Her face lit up with excitement the first time we saw it.

Wow, for me it looks like the tops of many of the characters has been rubbed off. These 'fat-bottomed' fonts seem to be a common theme.

I do find it strange that a font designed for readability (such as Consolas -my fav for any text editor), isn't mentioned as a readable font for dyslexics (or why it isn't). Monospacing improves the readability of certain characters (i,l,t) words with this combination of characters (ill, lit, readability) often end up getting very compressed.

It must depend on the person because I don't find it helps at all. If anything, it's slightly harder to read.
