Re: top-level domain, there's a good number of universities on the list. https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db It's about $200k.
I think it's pretty cool! Would definitely matter to me from a "what school should I go to" standpoint.

I would have used oleum instead of pinguis , which is more like "grease", I believe: https://books.google.it/books?id=pdFLAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA85&lpg=PA...
Good question. Is oleum used for liquid fat, no matter the source, or is it confined to plant-based oils? pinguis has definite animalistic qualities. You'd think it was oleum nucis indicæ [1], not pinguis nucis indicæ , except when used in a metaphorical manner. Paging Reginald Foster, Father Reginald please! [1] nux indica is the coconut
I'd like to see a Chinese version of this...
In both cases, I notice it's easier to memorize things in this fashion. Although I suppose with the ·𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯 that effect will wear off if I obtain more reading & writing proficiency.

The basic idea has to do with a concept called processing fluency. Studies have shown that the harder your brain has to work to process the information, the more likely you are to absorb it -- at least to a point. One recent study that manipulated processing fluency using a hard-to-read font is "Fluency and the detection of misleading questions: Low processing fluency attenuates the Moses illusion," Social Cognition,…
Do any of those 50 experiments involve being naked? Asking for a friend.
WRITING BY HAND. A font to help you remember your study notes.
For me, I think part of the reason that I remember handwritten things better is that the formatting has to be done correctly the first time. For example, if I was writing down the three elements of a statute, one of which had two sub-elements, then I had to know very clearly how the statute was structured before committing pen to paper. When taking notes on a computer, it's easy to just pound out text and then go back later and put in the right formatting. For me, being forced to properly format the first time around seems to greatly increase recall.
Anyone know what the licence is for the font? It is free to download, but doesn't come with anything explaining usage and distribution restrictions.
