Well, the correct traditional font for State should really be Courier, because “Real America” used typewriters for all correspondence.

I was sort of thinking that these 'cables' ought really to be rendered in a teletypewriter font[1], but then having lower case would be anachronistic.

My teacher training (quite a few decades ago) suggested that for people with dyslexia you should set large quantities of text;

# right ragged so inter-word spacing constant;

# without hyphenation;

# with line spacing larger than word spacing;

# and broken up into sections with headings that describe the content of the section.

(As it happens I rarely need to use large chunks of text in basic maths teaching)
