This font is indeed "heavier" at the bottom like Alfred said. I might have confused in my example a different "dyslexic font" we tested back then.
Even slight differences (like the tiny tail you mentioned) seem to make a big difference for legibility. No matter whether mirrored horizontally or vertically, rotated or any combination of that. Main aspect was (as far as I understood), that you can't put two different letters onto each other with a congruent shape. Perhaps that's part of what helps distinguish them? The "d" also has a bit of a tail that the "b" doesn't have. But that's what I just observed by following the procedures during the tests made. And that seems to help.ĭisclaimer: I'm by no means any expert in this matter. So, even if the brain is messing around by flipping the letters, there's still something to differ. I've been told, that that's what sometimes happens at least to some people with dyslexia. Often, single letters seem to get shifted around, flipped horizontally or vertically, mirrored etc. bottom half of "d") already helped the kids massively. Sometimes, just a variation of the thickness of one of the lines (i. e. "b" and "d" can't be just mirrored, nor can b and q look alike, just rotated by 180°. What I learned is that a font seems to need some "uniqueness" to each individual char. Hence, the test with "common" fonts as well. Even though latter is open source, most schools don't allow the installation of own fonts.

But we had to test fonts which are commonly available without the need to install OpenDyslexic.
