while i personally don’t have a ton of reason to switch away from Atkinson Hyperlegible (which we use on cohost, and the ASSC website’s long form writing, and also i use it in fucking everything personally) but it’s really good to have multiple options for this sort of thing.

Inclusive Sans looks like a really nice execution of a lot of the same concepts. love to see it

I'm really glad to see the progress in readability-focused fonts towards ones that are, uh, readable.

Like I get the theory behind OpenDyslexic and its relatives and if they work for you then that's great, font options are always more accessible than any one font

but to me (in fairness I am not dyslexic, but I am a person who needs to read things) a full page of text written in OpenDyslexic is such a chaos of line thicknesses that it's much harder to read than, say, Garamond. which was created in 1540. yeah, the letters are easy to identify individually, but following a line of text across the screen FeElS lIkE tHiS

Inclusive Sans looks much more like regular-ass text, and that is not just an aesthetic improvement, it's a usability one.
