The thing is, this (and craftworks.at or whatever) is still not a fully polished technology.
It probably can be optimized in a bunch of ways:
* Less drastic transitions between accentuated text and the rest
* An ML algorithm to select quantifiably better patterns (with distillation if necessary)
* Enrolling visually- and cognitively-impaired persons (e.g.dyslexics) into the study to avoid undercutting accessibility
We've been doing printing and written/illuminated books for many centuries, and statistical readability studies for the last 80 years or so. If a variation of this technique is better than the existing 'flat' type (even with ligatures), NASA/DARPA/NIH would be investigating it shortly.
