How is a new font "more inclusive"? This word has been co-opted by corpo drones and has lost its meaning.

It's little things like better disambiguation between uppercase i and lowercase L.

and the letters qpdb are different? (for dyslexic people)

qpdb are completely symmetrical in Bierstadt, so no.

It's like 'gaslighting' or 'reboot', or various others: it gains a little traction then everyone finds an excuse to use it, appropriate or not.

The only meaning I could imagine as useful is to include more different scripts from the Unicode set.
