Very nice and interesting.
But I hope the reason I hated reading it was the shitty colours and rubbish layout of the page. It gets slightly better if i read it with a yellow background.
The way it's presented in the examples I've seen, it looks like it's being used as an alternative to comic sans.
- but that's perhaps not far from the mark, since I know that comic sans is often considered a dyslexia-friendly font.
I'd like to see more examples of the font, where the blocks of text are bigger and the sentence structure more complex to really form an opinion on whether it's something that should be rolled-out into the mainstream media and print.

It did seem 'wrong' to me too. Like there was something wrong with the spacing and kerning, and like someone rubbed them thin at the top.

I don't think this will ever replace fonts anywhere, nor do I think it is intended to; however, a dyslexic could use this to replace the reading font on websites in his browser only. This could be done through Opera's user-stylesheets, or similar extensions in other browsers.
