I know you'll all enjoy this:

"Reading printed text is so fluid and transparent for most people that it's
hard to imagine it feeling any other way. Maybe that's why it took a
dyslexic designer to create a typeface that optimizes the reading experience
for people who suffer from that condition.Christian Boer's
"Dyslexie"<http://www.studiostudio.nl/project-dyslexie/> doesn't
exactly make the letterforms look conventionally beautiful, but since when
is that a prerequisite for well-designed? If it works, it works. And
according to an independent study by the University of
Twente<http://www.utwente.nl/en> in
Boer's native Netherlands, it does work."
