It takes on the order of a few minutes for your brain to learn to read that font fluently. It all seems rather silly.
Does RMIT have a good reputation?

#62I would LOVE a monospaced version of this. If any type designers are out there, please make this happen.
Yeah, it's surprisingly attractive and easy to read.

#63Does it include a full set of unforgettable emojis?

#64Earlier quoted context omitted.
This font has easily distinguishable glyphs for all letters. Some fonts make "Ill" looks like ||| and it's still possible to read most texts written in such fonts easily. Considering that it's possible to learn to read a completely different alphabet, I'm not convinced that there's anything to font legibility besides familiarity, so long as all glyphs are distinguishable.
I agree. Maybe this effect will only work if you rotate fonts every so often to one you're not familiar with. If this effect works at all.

It's definitely one of the better universities in Australia, and has a good design reputation.
So, yeah.

#66Wow, they have their own TLD! https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/rmit.html Interesting that the university's website is not on that TLD but rather https://rmit.edu.au
As a grad from a sandstone uni, I feel disappointed. ;)

#67So you'll learn it after a while and it won't serve it's purpose anymore? Each letter should slightly animate like a little slug or render randomly to get benefits of forcing brain to read-with-focus or whatever that is.

#68> Sans Forgetica is more difficult to read than most typefaces – and that’s by design. The 'desirable difficulty' you experience when reading information formatted in Sans Forgetica prompts your brain to engage in deeper processing Based on this logic - harder the process better the processing - its obviously a mistake that schools are increasingly using technology to teach, like visualizing geometric shapes on scree…
And based on this logic, I'm asking everyone to please downvote my comment to lower its contrast, so it's harder to read and unforgettable!
Edit: NOOOO!!! I said DOWNVOTE! ;(

#70I realize this is a corner case, but I wonder how dyslexics will perform using a font that looks even less like a letterform — when it is already a struggle to combine several into a word.
