For readers wishing to dig deeper into Typography & Dyslexia, the subject of previous B&H post, here are urls for papers cited in approximate order of that in the original post. More scientific studies of typography and dyslexia are ongoing, and some are in other languages not yet translated into English, so in the future, additional publications may confirm, contradict, or augment what is described in the blog post.
