Hey, I'm looking for fonts which are dyslexic friendly (wording, early morning brain grogginess). Any tips?

I know comic sans is one, but since people tend to abhor that one, other recommendations are welcome!

I want to be able to make certain documents more user friendly.

Also on the other side of the spectrum, which ones are _exceptionally bad_ to use?

@maloki The British Dyslexia Association recommends to use Arial, Comic Sans or, as alternatives to these, Verdana, Tahoma, Century Gothic, and Trebuchet [2]. (googled)

@elisa @maloki as a person with dyslexia I can tell that all these fonts are not helping. Whats special about real dyslexia fonts is the uneven shape of every letter. only the two fonts below fulfill these property https://www.dyslexiefont.com/en/dyslexie-font/

@seppini In google docs, there's one called Chelsea Market, does this have comparable functionality for you? :)

@maloki yes, that one is similar to the dyslexia fonts
