Well, it is a nice solution to make someone's life easier when there are no signs of a cure coming. For example, this font could be set up as a system's default (or even it could be enforced as the 'one and only' typeface) and thus it will make dyslexic's life better. IMO it's a win.

Also you should note, that this font was created by a dyslexic, so I think he knows what he is doing.

He probably knows how to help himself, but that doesn't necessarily mean he knows how to help others.

However, I did find some ideas that I thought might be helpful. In particular, making each letter bottom-heavy and making each letter different than other letters, so that if you rotate them, they aren't identical.

Sadly, it appears that either doesn't work, or he didn't make drastic enough changes.

I actually like the look of the font, though, when it's large enough.

Just to clarify: your confidence in how dyslexic letter recognition works makes me think that you are a dyslexic, aren't you?
