The Braille Institute created a font designed to make reading easier for people with low vision called Atkinson Hyperlegible in 2019.

It just released an update (Atkinson Hyperlegible Next) and monospace version with enhanced characters, 7 weights, and variable weight.

They’re free for personal and commercial use.

I put together a proof-of-concept using Atkinson Hyperlegible from the Braille Institute and OpenDyslexic as they are both freely available and claim to be helpful. This allowed me to experiment with the UX and identify any issues that might make adopting this difficult. This is not an accessibility issue I currently have to contend with, so I approached the user community for feedback and recommendations for additional fonts, asking:
