Everything you know is wrong, also illegible

 

From today's Times (for those of you behind the pay wall) the news you need to know:

"New research finds that people retain significantly more material — whether science, history or language — when they study it in a font that is not only unfamiliar but also hard to read."

My new book will be in 9 point Fraktur. Though actually I guess it doesn;t matter if you retain anything of a novel except a pleasant sense of gratification. The actual contents are hard to recall exactly. But I worked hard on those contents. So hard fonts from now on, smaller and tougher than my readership.
