I have a confession to make... I code in Comic Sans (dtinth.github.io)

Seriously, though, Comic Sans was originally designed to be legible at the smallest possible font size, and the lack of hard lines makes it easier to read!

I've heard it's easier for people with dyslexia to read comic sans than most traditional fonts. I have never been diagnosed, but I've long suspected I have it, and I have always loved comic sans and always thought it was very easy to read. I never understood why everyone hates it so much.

You might already know there's a free font for dyslexic people called OpenDyslexic https://opendyslexic.org/

I do know about it, but thank you! Someone else might not have, so you mentioning it is great! I actually use the opendyslexic font for reading on my Kindle, and it's so much more visually appealing to me, and reading feels smoother.
