Kermit: A typeface for kids

Kermit Sans

Scroll hijacking on this website is atrocious. Ironic for a site that is focused on good design.

Is there any evidence that any font has a positive impact on reading (beyond obviously bad fonts being slow)? I'm very suspicious of this whole idea.

Maybe it's easy for kids to read, but I found the font too bold and the letters too close-together to read comfortably. I gave up before I could read all their justifications for those decisions.

But that might've also been the weird scrolling behavior of the page that ruined it for me.

There has been efficacy for people with dyslexia. Fonts like comic sans are closer to their own writing and therefore are easier to read.

You can also look at the Geronimo Stilton book series, a lot of words appear in different colors / fonts to emphasise words. These books are often easier for children and those with dyslexia to read.

Note: I still feel like calling it a typeface that makes reading easier is inappropriate. No study has specifically been conducted on this typeface, and drawing conclusions from (limited, and arguably unrelated) studies and and anecdotes is dubious at best.
