One unexpected result was a UK study of dyslexic reading abilities, where Comic Sans came out ahead of other (more normal) common fonts. The experimenters cited the design’s simple forms for a’ and g’, so the result may be due to the researchers’ unfamiliarity with the hundreds of other fonts that share these characteristics, or (more charitably) their deliberate focus on commonly available fonts.
