To add:
Some fonts for readability for various impairments (cognitive included).
APHont:
APH created a font in 2003 for low vision, but to be honest I think there are some better options. nevertheless, it is called APHont, and is free, readily downloadable from various font sites.

But the fairly standard Verdana and some others also work well — I particularly like Trebuchet as a more readable alternative to Futura— while some very popular/common fonts like Helvetica have a few problems.
Despite popularity, Helvetica & Arial, have problems. such as I and l, and rn next to each other:
Related, some fonts for DYSLEXIA have several helpful features:
