This font is awesome!

I'm not blind but my eyesight isn't what it used to be, like all men my age, and this font really is legible at a much smaller size even for me.

Wow, that was interesting... My eyes started to ache while reading that font... Like if I look directly at the sun or a very bright light or lightshow.

Fascinating!

(On mobile, ~15cm distance, I have some visual deficits that require glasses but I haven't got around to get progressive ones or specific reading glasses as I mostly see alright in short dustances. I have something with the rotation - can't remember the correct term - which I suspect had a part here)

something with the rotation

Astigmatism?

Sounds familiar, but I don't really pay attention to health care professionals in that way, so I'm not sure :)
