Features like the non-symmetrical b and d, and the handwritten forms of a and g may help dyslexic readers.  You can read more about the story behind Lexie Readable in the Kernel.

There is no single answer about which fonts are most accessible for everyone, but there are some things that can make a typeface more accessible to some people.

Lexend
Lexend
Lexend fonts are intended to reduce visual stress and so improve reading performance. Initially they were designed with dyslexia and struggling readers in mind, but Bonnie Shaver-Troup, creator of the Lexend project, soon found out that these fonts are also great for everyone else.

In this paper, we present the first experiment that uses eye-tracking to measure the effect of font type on reading speed. Using a within-subject design, 48 subjects with dyslexia read 12 texts with 12 dif- ferent fonts. Sans serif, monospaced and roman font styles significantly improved the reading performance over serif, proportional and italic fonts. On the basis of our results, we present a set of more accessible fonts for people with dyslexia.
