Font to improve memory (Sans Forgetica), no really!

I keep making my eyes go out of focus when looking at that font and I still can't see the tiger that's supposed to be hidden in it.

I don't think this would help anyone long term. It's supposed to help people remember by making people pause while reading. This makes the presumption that the persons brain wont learn the font in a very short period of time. I'm not convinced.

I haven't figured out how to get it to display yet. Maybe my brain needs more work than I thought.

I didn't find myself reading any slower or more deliberately. I already read slow and force myself to comprehend. If I don't, I absorb nothing at all. I've always been a slooowww reader. Like a typical novel (which I believe is between 4th and 9th grade reading level) is between one and three minutes a page for me. I also never understood the difficulty with reading upside down. It's all the same to me. So there will be no help for crappy memory. OtOH, maybe it would help me type better. Wouldn't that be a treat? Somehow forcing my typing and proofreading to become more deliberate. If that worked then I would sign up in a New York City Salsa Minute.

I'm with Drazzil. It's a good idea (forces you to slow down), but you'll eventually get used to the font and the same problem recurs.

Now, a dynamic version that's a little different every time it loads (maybe three or four variants of each letter that are randomly picked each time) might work.
