The font I use on this site is called Dyslexie.

 

It was created by a dyslexic designer in The Netherlands and it helps people with dyslexia read more easily.

 

I think it's an amazing font because it provides a solution to an actual obstacle through creative and aesthetic means. It brazenly breaks all the traditional rules of font design, and by doing so, widens a circle of inclusion. And on top of it all, it's interesting to look at.

​

I love that this font can look to the casual observer kind of goofy and not-considered, when in actuality it is arguably far more considered and purposeful in its design than most of the "serious" and "professional" looking fonts out there. This feels like a good analogue for how I hope my own work functions in the world.

*Big ups to Ask Nicely of The Puzzlement Laboratory for introducing me to this wonderful font.
