Interesting that the memo claims that sans serif fonts are preferred to serif fonts for screen reader users and people with disabilities. I thought the exact opposite was true. Is there any definitive research on which type of font is more accessible?
"Results showed a small, but significant advantage in response times for words written in a sans serif font."

"Sans serif, monospaced and roman font styles significantly improved the reading performance over serif, proportional and italic fonts."

and here a whole book about that question
Dyslexia associations have recommended Comic Sans as a font that allows for easier reading comprehension. Experts say that opposition to Comic Sans is ableist: https://www.thecut.com/2020/08/the-reason-comic-sans-is-a-pu...
I, for one, think all State Dept cables should henceforth be transmitted in Comic Sans, so as to provide maximum accessibility.
