After a day of using it, so far it's pretty good. It fits well on a desktop UI, unlike OpenDyslexic, which needs to be used in its Alta variant to work.

So far I know of the following good specialized fonts for dyslexia and vision impairment #accessibility:

Oh excellent. The designers of the #IntelOneMono font (designed to be an accessible code font for low-vision devs) have made a beta with ligatures that you can try out and provide feedback: https://github.com/intel/intel-one-mono/issues/9#issuecomment-1994958719
Missing programming ligatures · Issue #9 · intel/intel-one-mono

Like those in e.g. Cascadia Code (https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code#font-features) and JuliaMono (https://juliamono.netlify.app/#contextual_and_stylistic_alternates_ligatures).
