Researchers and academics from different disciplines came together to develop, design and test the font called Sans Forgetica. The font is the world's first typeface specifically designed to help people retain more information and remember more of typed study notes and it's available for free. It was developed in a collaboration between typographic design specialist and psychologists, combining psychological theory and design principles to improve retention of written information.

The font was developed using a learning principle called 'desirable difficulty', where an obstruction is added to the learning process that requires us to put in just enough effort, leading to better memory retention to promote deeper cognitive processing.

As someone who has to re-read a book page 2-3 times in order to remember what I just read, this sounds pretty cool.

I would love this. I tend to read faster than I should, and it leads to me quickly forgetting about stuff. If this helps me slow down, I'd be all for it.

I like the idea but I feel like your brain would eventually fill in the gaps.
