It's good to have distinct looking letters in a font when you have Dyslexia it helps you identify the letters so you can read faster. Too much distortion though is just as bad so I have to find a font that is just right and doesn't dance or move around or blur together. |
I have trouble with serif fonts because they have too much extra stuff in the letters that aren't really a normal part of a letter as far as I am concerned. It seems to take extra time for me to decipher the letters when they don't look like normal letters to me.
I've always wondered if I was dyslexic - I had some trouble in school in the early grades, but not later. I also mix up right and left, up and down, before and after - pretty much any words that are opposites. Most people know to translate if what I am saying seems backwards then it probably is backwards. But then I read that dyslexia is mostly reading.
