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

    No. Very irritatingly, iOS won’t let you install fonts normally.

    In order for you to install a font, someone else needs to make an app for that font, and once you download and run the app that installs the font, that font becomes available anywhere.

    This seems profoundly stupid to me and I do not get it.

    There actually is an app for the older font, which you can find if you search the App Store for “hyperlegible”, where some guy is charging $2 to package up this free font for you.

    Thanks, Apple. As usual you’ve done a great job ensuring that nobody gives away anything for free on iPhones

      I can’t say I blame the person charging when apple charges you to upload an app to the app store.

        No, can’t blame the app dev at all but we can blame Apple for making open source and other free software so difficult on their phones
