This is fascinating! The Braille Institute has developed a font - free to download - that's designed to be clearer for readers with lower vision.

An example of one of the aspects of low legibility that they tackled attached.

It's named Atkinson Hyperlegible. Atkinson was the Institute's founder - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Atkinson

Here's where you can read about the font and download it: https://brailleinstitute.org/freefont

@hildabast @tombofnull even though I have the privilege of being able to read 11pt fonts at arm's length, the clear distinctions shown in examples like B8 and 1IiL examples are things I wish all fonts were required to do. Especially fonts used for phones and computers; any time you need to read filenames, urls, wifi card numbers, code, etc, etc, those distinctions are extremely important.
