A better headline for this story would be: “Comic Sans is Actually Easier to Read for People who Have Dyslexia” as (speaking as someone who has a degree in graphic design and has taken years of typography) 99% of graphic designers simply wouldn’t know that. I certainly didn’t. It’s a terrible font for long form use precisely because people with non-dyslexic eyeballs find it uncomfortable to read (and therefore unprofessional) but I am glad someone has a real use for it. I wouldn’t read anything longer than a sentence that was typeset in it, but I would use it for a brochure for people who have Dyslexia now that I know this. The dislike of the font is rooted in the discomfort of the common reader. That’s not ableism, it would be ableism if the font were invented for dyslexics and THEN people made fun of it. It was invented for short snippet comic book style text and that is where it is best used. That and, now that we know this, helpful for dyslexics!
