Note that there still have been no studies on its efficacy. At worst, it is a great font to avoid ambiguity between characters.

    This is largely a layperson’s opinion, but I don’t think there would be much of a difference. The thing is that perfect vision rarely happens, not just because of bad eyes, but because sunlight might be hitting your screen or you’re reading at a weird angle or contrast is bad etc…
    And even if the pixels were beamed straight to your retina, your brain is still a pattern matching machine. If it’s easier to discern individual letters, it becomes quicker to select each word correctly.

    Having said that, if there were a font that’s objectively the most readable, we probably wouldn’t have a gazillion different fonts. Some folks here have said that they find this font distracting, for example. So, yeah, you kind of have to decide on your own, what works best for you.
