Sans Forgetica: New font to boost memory
The new font that promises to boost your memoryhttps://www.theage.com.au/education/the-new-font-that-promises-to-boost-your-memory-20181003-p507ju.html
As far as fonts go, this one breaks every rule. It slants backwards, there are confusing gaps in every letter and it’s difficult to read. But the aptly-named Sans Forgetica has a major advantage: it’s believed to improve people’s memories.
In a world first, researchers from RMIT University have designed a font to help people retain information.
Released as tens of thousands of students start studying for their Year 12 exams, the typeface draws from an unusual mix of psychology and typography. RMIT typography lecturer Stephen Banham, who was part of the three person team that created Sans Forgetica, said the font is a useful study tool.
It's ideal for highlighting important facts that might need to be recalled during an exam, he said, such as dates, historical events and quotes.
