Faster with Bionic by 6%. Less of a difference than I expected although it does feel easier for some reason.

I have thought about using Bionic or Dyslexic fonts but I'm worried that it'd cause a change over time that makes it even harder to read plain format text.

My reading speed overall is slow compared to others. I notice my reading speed is only fast and accurate when I'm extremely interested in a topic.




I wouldn't be too concerned that using specialized fonts would become a dependency. I run BeeLine Reader, a similar tool that uses color gradients instead of bolding, and we've not heard this from our users much (though we did wonder about it when we were starting out). People do like specialized fonts and wish they had them on platforms where they're unavailable, but it's not like it becomes a crutch that you can't live without.
