http://sansforgetica.rmit/ This is a font designed to resist skimming, decreasing readability to increase the amount of time spent reading, and thus the impact of a thing being read. Noise, improving signal acquisition. Interesting, and seen elsewhere. Suggests fun ML experiments

Research is good, research that implies and suggests other research is great! Interesting ideas recruit and agglomerate. Yes, yes, it's obvious not all readers will have identical effects, etc. Can sling and arrow this all day, as people do in our "I'm important too" culture.

I've played on the other side of this space -- fonts that improve readability for dyslexics -- and I hadn't thought much about noise injection being valuable. But this is like the third time this week it's shown up in very different contexts, so...cool! Fun is ok :)

A lot of Infosec UI reduces to injecting noise. /cc

Replying to @dakami
The most cogent critique of this font I've run into is: you could slow down your readability by switching to, say, Cyrillic, but the effect wouldn't last. There's no reason to think one wouldn't just adapt to it
