Are there any dyslexic unfriendly fonts?

Let's say I REALLY don't want dyslexic people reading my post. What font would be the most troublesome font for them to read?

Step 1) Find all the design elements gone into the creation of dyslexia fonts, and invert those. Use ChatGPT maybe

Step 2) Find a font matching the invertion

Sorry I'm too lazy to do it myself

I'm not dyslexic, so I'm just going off assumptions here. Dyslexic fonts often have bold parts that make them easy to tell apart at a glance. So something that's very homogenous with a bunch of straight vertical lines that create a very even look might perform particularly poor with people with dyslexia. So some kind of geometric sans-serif font.
