Note that there still have been no studies on its efficacy. At worst, it is a great font to avoid ambiguity between characters.

Wow!! They recently made TWO new versions of it!!

There's also a font for people who have dyslexia : https://opendyslexic.org/
- Some tests showed that this font doesn't actually helps that much.
- Thanks, perfect addition to that usecase

That's a really nice font.
They can fuck right off with the email registration for downloading it.
- This is one of those bogus sign-up forms. You can enter a completely fake email and the page will just give you the download link.
  Still annoying, but you can get the font with pretty little effort.
  
  It didn't work when I entered why@example.com before posting. It did afterwards when trying a single use address.
  Either way, I got the fonts, but not the spam. Hooray!
- When the time has come for me to use the font, I would just enter a 1 minute mail like the ones you find when googling qwanting "trashmail"
  
  Exactly what I'll be doing.

That's pretty slick
