Tiresias typeface

In the same vein it&#x27;s worth checking out Atkinson Hyperlegible -- a typeface that I find utterly beautiful and I&#x27;ve personally found legible at extremely tiny sizes.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;brailleinstitute.org&#x2F;freefont" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;brailleinstitute.org&#x2F;freefont</a><p>I really, really want a monospace version, and while they&#x27;ve made the font &quot;free software&quot; (someone I know emailed them to double check the license), I lack the necessary knowledge to do that

According to this video which consulted the available research on the topic (and has links to the actual research papers in the description), the legibility of Tiresias for people with impaired vision is unfounded (Can’t look for the specific research right now because I’m on the go):<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;41i9EN9l8uc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;41i9EN9l8uc</a>

Not linked to in the Wiki article for some reason.<p><i>In Greek mythology, Tiresias (&#x2F;taɪˈriːsiəs&#x2F;; Greek: Τειρεσίας, Teiresias) was a blind prophet of Apollo in Thebes, famous for clairvoyance and for being transformed into a woman for seven years. He was the son of the shepherd Everes and the nymph Chariclo.[1] Tiresias participated fully in seven generations in Thebes, beginning as advisor to Cadmus himself.</i><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Tiresias" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Tiresias</a>

I&#x27;d be interested to read more on what makes it particularly well-suited for impaired vision.<p>Unlike Comic Sans, which is noticeably distinct almost to the point of being displeasing, this just looks like a relatively standard sans-serif typeface.

Since 2017 I have used the Go (Golang) Monospace TrueType fonts:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.golang.org&#x2F;go-fonts" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.golang.org&#x2F;go-fonts</a><p>They are clear, unambiguous, and pleasing to the eye!

It&#x27;s 2021, why are sans-serif typefaces still the most common way to read text? My 4K monitor can render detailed serif typefaces at very small sizes which are nicer and more legible than most of the text in the internet.

I think this is the font used in the BBC&#x27;s Red Button

What is the correct pronunciation of tiresias?

Funny seeing this linked here. Tiresias is honestly a fairly unremarkable typeface with a lot of marketing talk, heavily inspired by earlier humanist sans-serifs like FF Meta, but I remember seeing it as a UI font across several different manufacturers of TVs and set-top boxes (Sony, Panasonic, probably others) some years ago and finding it curious that they used the same (obscure) font. Maybe it was part of some embedded OS, or they just managed to sell some big companies on it.
