Maybe if the textbook was printed in this font...
> 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. But does the effectiveness of this hold up over time or will your brain get accustomed to the font after a while such that reading it eventually becomes no different than reading whatever…
I thought it was something to do with forging essays or something similar as I kept reading it as Forge-tica. I always thought the use of study notes was just in writing them to stimulate memory, not actually reading them (for me at least).
Though, just think of your memory retention if you take notes by hand-drawing this font. Sure, it's time consuming, but you're never going to forget those two sentences that you got through.
Is Cyrillic support planned?
What would be cool is if they conducted a larger study via the Chrome plugin.
If it turns out not to be a joke/hoax/psychology/social experiment, I will be sure to remember - I made a note to check back later, using this special font that aids memory.
I fear that’s a fairly fat if, though.
