Small plea: please stop bringing-up heavy-bottomed fonts whenever accessibility for dyslexic people is being discussed, especially if you are not dyslexic, because it is limiting discussion.
These heavy-bottomed fonts get a lot of attention paid to them, but there is no peer reviewed evidence for them being helpful for dyslexic people of any age or reading ability.
They are preferred by some dyslexic people, but for others they actively hinder readability.
