I don’t know if friends need to read English articles. Anyway, because of work, Tony often needs to read various English news.
But once this article is too long. . .
Every time after reading a long article, I can hardly remember what was said.
I have to watch the content I need again and again, which is a special headache.
Shichao saw my distress and told me about a font called "Sans Forgetica", which was invented by scientists and designers at ( RMIT ) of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.
It is said that this font is used intermittently, which can make people remember more text content. (Let me show you a short story first, and then try to see if you can remember the content after reading the article)
If you read a lot of English articles, you should find this font familiar.
Actually, it is based on the most commonly used English font on our computers——Arial.
Arial font
It tilts the normal Arial font to the left, making the text longer and the white space within the text smaller.
Then on each letter, select one or two points to remove, turning the text into an incomplete form.
The position of the removal is still very particular, and the letters cannot be too weird
In the end, this incomplete font was called Sans Forgetica.
Tony felt that this text was obviously more difficult to remember than ordinary words. . .
In order to prove that using Sans Forgetica fonts can make people remember more text content, scientists selected 400 samples and divided them into two groups.
Let them read the Sans Forgetica font article and the Arial font article respectively.
As a result, the former can remember 57% of the text content, while the latter can only remember 50%.
Really, it is unexpected. .
Scientist Janneke said that when the brain reads such incomplete text, in order to make the font legible, it will automatically restore the disconnected place to its original appearance. (Although it will be a little uncomfortable at first, but you can get used to it soon)
This way the brain takes a fraction of a second longer than usual to process each letter.
Unknowingly, the brain will be more impressed with each letter, thus remembering more things.
In this way, if you use it to recite words, you won't just remember Abandon.
But Tony feels that if this type of font wants to be circulated, forget it. . .
If newspapers and novels are printed with dense fonts like this, I'm afraid my head will explode after reading it. . .
But as a tool font, for students who need to remember class notes or exam articles, it can help remember more things, which is really good news.
Friends who want to try it can click to read the original text and download the font.
After downloading, put the decompressed font package into the C drive - Windows - Fonts, the font will be installed automatically, and then you can use it. ( Mac / Windows are both supported )
Mac users double-click the decompressed font package, and then click Install Font in the lower right corner to use it.
For those who are too lazy to download, you can also pull it to the bottom of the website. After entering the text, you can directly save the picture and share it.
"Do you remember what story you read at the beginning?"
