Font intended to assist people with Dyslexia.
Visually bottom weighted characters provide mental clues to assist in
preventing mental rotation of characters, they say.
Apparently based on existing known principles.

I find it visually annoying.
But I can imagine that if it worked for somebody the cosmetic aspects would
be irrelevant.

Free download of fonts available.

Good pointer Russell.

I don't mind the bottom weighting on the font, possibly because I prefer a chunky font like Ariel anyway. I found it to be quite readable, and am not (knowingly) dyslexic.

I find this font incredibly readable and that my reading speed increases 10
fold. Hmm....

It appears to render quite differently (and much more pleasantly) in I.E. than it does in Firefox.  In FF the upper half of the letters looks very light and washed out.

Interesting, I had hard times reading that text.

Looks like it is going mainstream in its acceptance.

A great idea, but I'd like to see a font that would be adopted by
elementary school teachers. Apparently they prefer Comic Sans as it is
the font that matches how letters are actually handwritten when
children are learning to write.  (For example the letter 'a').
