    It's not pretty... but it's much better than ITC Garamond or Rotis.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say, and I doubt that deaf people have any more problems reading than anybody else. (Not that they are claiming that on the site - http://www.tiresias.org).

    The problem I have with this font is I doubt that any thought has been put into how people actually read, interpret and comprehend reading materials. Things like Bouma (the shape of a cluster of letters) leading and space around the text all have as much or more importance in reading and comprehension as the actual shape of the letters.
