Sans Forgetica Do you have trouble remembering things you've read?Scientists at RMIT University in Australia have come up with a new font that can help you remember by making words harder to read.
Fonts are used to make letters look a certain way.jye.ai computers or in books.If you re writing.a report,you can give a different look to the words in your report by choosing a different font.For example,you can make them look like they might look in a book.jye.ai you can make them look like handwriting.
Scientists have discovered that people often remembered things better if it was a little bit harder for them to read.The scientists learned that if you are reading words that are difficult to recognize,your brain has to work a little bit harder to memorize the words that your eyes are seeing.This extra work helps your brain remember the words better.
Now scientists at RMIT in Australia have taken this idea and created a font just for remembering things.The font,called "Sans Forgetica",is a little bit harder to read,on purpose.
There are two main things that make the font harder to read and easier to remember.Probably the most obvious one is that all of the letters have gaps in them.When the letters have these gaps,the brain has to fill in the gaps to recognize them.This makes readers slow down and pay attention to what they read.
The other surprising thing about Sans Foryetica is that it slants in different direction.You may be used to seeing words that slant toward the right But Stephen
Banham,who helped create Sans Forgetica says,"Sans Forgetica,which slant in a different direction,are easier to be memorized"
When someone creates a new font,they often sell it.But RMIT is giving away their font,hoping that it will help students and other people who need to remember things.
