Quite interesting, but doesn’t speak to the creation of fonts specifically to make reading harder for the disabled. It even says evidence that Calibri is easier isn’t conclusive. Doesn’t say anything about whether any font was created to make reading easier or harder for anyone.
Lower "L"s and upper "i"s are basically identical in Calibri. It’s a sans serif font that’s hard to read for everyone. Calibri is an shit font and never should have been used on any government documents.
I could also go on about what I think is harder or easier to read, but that’s neither here nor there. The post claims there is/are a font or fonts that were specifically created with the intention to be harder to read for the disabled, and I want to know whether that’s true.

I was meaning that the switch to a serif font from a sans serif font was meant with apathy or antipathy for dyslexics’ legibility
That’s true but not at all what you said in the post. But thanks for clarifying here!
