As someone who flips letters, flips words, and merges sentences while reading, this felt like reading with a safety net.

This was the smoothest reading experience of my life

That really is much easier to read. How come I'm only just learning about it now?

This font really works! ?It keeps the letters from jumping all over the page.

It's pretty useful. Ther is also OpenDyslexic that can be placed as an addon to browsers and is also included on all Kindles. I find that a different font is actually even better, but dyslexia isn't the same for everyone.

Whenever I can I change things to the Dyslexia font, I don;t have dyslexia but it is easier to read.

Open Dyslexic is similar and free https://opendyslexic.org/

Strangely blurry. For me, it's hard to read, actually.

I just looked it up. It's $150 to add it!

This just made me tear up! I could never explain to people why I couldn't read certain things I was given..This is amazing.

This is so great! Even though I’m not dyslexic, I always flip letters and this is so helpful.

I don't see well and this font is a joy to read through. Bottom area darker than the top. There are even slightly different spacings for different age groups. Genius! ...After going to the website I see the font is for sale. Interesting to read how and why this font was made. Which reminds me...I love BP with all my heart but have suggested to them that they make the comment section's font black and not light grey as it is, because it's really hard to read.. Hey BP..in the spirit of Dyliexie's contribution to Humanity..how about it? :)

I am not dyslexic yet still found this easier to read

Actually, I find this font kind of unpleasant to read.

Good !

And it’s so pretty!!!

As a member of a family with multiple dyslexic members, I appreciate this SO much.

So much easier to read

I need this. It was soooooo easy to read!.

I’m dyslexic and that was easy to read!

omg, since I just found this so amazingly easy to read, could it mean that I have been dyslexic all my life and didn't know it?

Amazing and ingenious! this is the type of people we need in the world!

I could've done with this in my school days.

Wow, what a treat to read with that font! I love it!

Oh My God! I was able to read that so easily!

Easy to read for people without this problem.

Absolutely the coolest thing I have ever seen in "print". NOW, to get everything printed, in particular, newspapers, magazines and closed captioning on television programming changed/upgraded to this type font and spacing.

As a mom to a profoundly dyslexic kid I love this!

I've used this on my Kindle for years. Love it !

This should become a standard font for offical documents and in schools!

Reads nice!

Pretty cool. Now let's see something on number dyslexia.

I felt like I needed to slow down to read it, like it was being spelled out to have each letter understood. as I kept reading, I realized they executed their intention well. Anyone notice the lower case q being uppercase, probably because it is like a p.

This was so needed when I tutored 3rd grade readers who were slotted to fail the exams. Having them read over what was there when they fused sentences and giving them an index card to follow their place helped. They were soon correcting each other and did not feel they were being punished. We made a game of it. All had the same issues with reading. We worked on comprehension too. They flipped words within a sentence too sometimes. One boy when asked to read was incredible. He sounded like an actor and gave emotion and excitement to what he read. It was very special to hear him read. There was a group of about 6 students. At the time they had just fallen through the cracks on determining what was wrong. Now Dyslexia is much easier to identify. All passed their tests. Mid 90's. I was the Art teacher but was told to tutor reading and math.

Is there a serif version?

I like the one on the Kindle. It stops the rivers.

As someone with dyslexia, this is very easy on the eyes. Usually I have to reread allot, but this went quite smoothly. I hope to see more of this font.

Love this!!

A diagnosis of dyslexia has saved the self-esteem of so many people who previously thought they must be stupid to not "get" what everyone else could. This type of tool can help bring them up even more. Kudos!!

I'm a bit skeptisch, my students with dyslexia have great problems with "e" and "a" so I prefer Comic sans (yes, it's horrible), cause the a is more like a handskript a and so better to differenciate.

I've never been diagnosed as dyslexic, but I found this font extremely pleasant to read

I'm not dyslexic, but I prefer this font anyway.

Is this the actual font? Omg fabulous!

That is easier to read. I’m not dyslexic, but I can’t ever seem to concentrate for long when reading on a screen. Especially love the using Q instead of q

Yeah, and they do this because we have totally messed up learning how to read to begin with... It's not a wonky thing in your mind, it's not being taught correctly from the very beginning, making people that add up context in a certain way having a hard time with symbols that just look too darn the same. And you never really get rid of it, because it automates the wrong way. Yes, there is research and no it's not trickeling down to where that knowledge should be. At least not fast enough.
