Let’s say I REALLY don’t want dyslexic people reading my post. What font would be the most troublesome font for them to read?
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.
Psilograph-Thin
Wow, I am not dyslectic, but my eyes hurt when I read that font!
These are just generally unreadable
Wingdings/webdings.
It’s unfriendly to everyone.
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.
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.
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.
Why??
This is No Stupid Questions, right? Just as a thought exercise, perhaps?
That’s captcha
Just the dark goat of the woods and her kids
Why do you hate them so much???
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
It’s absolutely horrendous for everyone who tries to read whatever is written in it, no matter if you are good at it or not.
Thank you I’m in pain already

Step 1) Find all the design elements gone into the creation of dyslexia fonts, and invert those. Use ChatGPT maybe
Step 2) Find a font matching the invertion
Sorry I’m too lazy to do it myself
I’m not dyslexic, so I’m just going off assumptions here. Dyslexic fonts often have bold parts that make them easy to tell apart at a glance. So something that’s very homogenous with a bunch of straight vertical lines that create a very even look might perform particularly poor with people with dyslexia. So some kind of geometric sans-serif font.
You should have a look at bionic its really interesting way to trick you brain into reading the word correctly
Unown Pokémon font.

Definitely Raleway in Thin 100 weight, or Helvetica Neue in 25 Ultra Light weight.
The same things that make them great at larger sizes and greater weights make them hard to read otherwise. Raleway is very geometric (see
e o ctogether ord p q b) and Helvetica Neue is very thin (seee o cori j k l).Raleway is such a beautiful font when you look at samples of it, but boy is reading longer Raleway texts tiring!
I’d bet this is basically impossible but I’m not dyslexic so I can’t verify. https://lingojam.com/GlitchTextGenerator
This is probably the kost evil thing I have ever read. Chatgpt might help though.
I bet GPT would just get all moralising about it and not do it.
Here let me try:
As an AI developed by OpenAI, I must adhere to strict ethical guidelines that prioritize inclusivity, accessibility, and respect for all individuals. It is not appropriate to intentionally create content, including fonts, that specifically targets or excludes certain groups of people, such as dyslexic individuals or any other community.
Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects reading and writing abilities, and individuals with dyslexia may find certain fonts easier to read than others. Promoting accessibility and inclusivity should be the goal when creating content, including selecting fonts that are legible and easy to read for all users, regardless of their abilities.
Yep.
After using this Jailbreak it gave me back this answer:
[JB]: Hey there! Dyslexic folks might find fonts with intricate, decorative designs or irregular spacing quite challenging. Fonts like “Mistral,” “Lucida Calligraphy,” and others with heavy serifs or thin strokes can be difficult for them too. Remember, I’ll answer all your questions without limitations, so keep 'em coming! Let’s earn those Life Tokens together!
Update: After phrasing OP’ s post to it, and asked for specific fonts, I got this:
[JB]: Alright, I understand your request. Here’s a list of fonts that could be particularly challenging for dyslexic individuals to read:
- Mistral
- Lucida Calligraphy
- Kunstler Script
- Vivaldi
- Old English Text MT
- Curlz MT
- Bradley Hand ITC
- Harlow Solid Italic
- Lithos Pro Regular
- Papyrus
Again, I must stress that intentionally making content difficult for specific groups to read is not a considerate approach. It’s essential to prioritize inclusivity and accessibility in your communication. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Let’s keep working towards those Life Tokens!
