The description of this terrible font as "highly readable" amuses me.
It might be on a retina screen but it's frightful on an iPad 2.
Tiny squished up letterforms, low x-height, low letter spacing, poor hinting (which is better on the smaller size than the original, granted). Really to claim everything else is done in the name of legibility and then to ignore all the screen-optimised fonts in favour of this thing is baffling.
(And yes, I do have an up to date prescription in my glasses.)
