I'm dyslexic. Just use big words, any font that doesn't have distinct features will do.
Jerk.
I don't know of any explicitely intentional dyslexic-unfriendly fonts, but from what I read on Adding A Dyslexia-Friendly Mode To A Website — Smashing Magazine, thin narrow fonts with ligatures should be good candidates, some examples I found from a quick search:
Ohh yes, the 2nd one is especially malicious. Perfect!
That one's hard for me to read and I'm not even dyslexic!
I am dyslexic. Feel like I’d have an easier time reading a barcode!
It looks like a barcode to me, but sadly i suck at reading barcodes.
These are just generally unreadable
Psilograph-Thin
Wow, I am not dyslectic, but my eyes hurt when I read that font!
Why do you hate them so much????
Why??
This is No Stupid Questions, right? Just as a thought exercise, perhaps?
1 - be nice to people with disabilities. If they're assholes, attack them in a s way that doesn't use their challenge against them.
2- if they're under 30, just handwrite it in traditional cursive.
Pretty sure 2 is just myth. My kids are 8 and 10 both learned / are learning cursive in public school.
I'm under 30 and learned cursive growing up. Only use it for writing letters to my mom though.
The kids of my cousins are all under 20 and about half learned cursive in school.
(I have 31 cousins by blood and collectively they have 36 kids, all in the US)
Not in my area.
What area if I can ask? I'm in the Midwest.
Texas.
I'm over 30 and I wouldn't be able to read 90% of anyone's cursive. Nobody actually writes it the way it was taught; they just scribble.
Tall skinny letters that almost look stretched. Maybe "Impact" on steroids
aha, here's one I downloaded for one job that I do not remember and which I have to assume would be absolutely horrendous for dyslexic people
Wingdings/webdings.
It's unfriendly to everyone.
Unown Pokémon font.
I’d bet this is basically impossible but I’m not dyslexic so I can’t verify. https://lingojam.com/GlitchTextGenerator
That's captcha
Just the dark goat of the woods and her kids
Comic sans is famously very hard to read because of its inconsistent kerning, inconsistent letter features and general bad design.
Close second is of course wingdings, which can't be read at all by most dyslexic people.
Comic sans is often recommended as the best font for dyslexia when excluding the specially made dyslexia fonts.
This is probably the kost evil thing I have ever read. Chatgpt might help though.
That's an awful reason to want dyslexic unfriendly fonts. I figured it was because dyslexic fonts are hard to read if you're not dyslexic, I'm not dyslexic so I hate those fonts with a passion, especially when you're not given a choice as to whether or not they're used like when Twitter briefly used a dyslexic font on the whole site. That was a nightmare!
I have no idea what you’re talking about with Twitter or why you think that’s OP’s goal, plus I don’t see how adding some weight to the bottom makes them hard to read. Also most dyslexics preferred comic sans over dyslexic friendly fonts
