Participants in the study said the font improved their reading accuracy and allowed them to read for longer periods of time before tiring. According to Scientific American, the font tweaks letters of the alphabet that are commonly misread, such as d and m, to make them easier to recognize. Some other fonts designed to aid dyslexic readers are Read Regular, Lexia Readable, Tiresias and Sassoon.
