Research shows that fonts can influence both readability and memory retention. The concept of "desirable difficulty" suggests that slightly harder-to-read fonts may improve memory by forcing deeper cognitive processing.

For general writing, highly readable fonts like Segoe UI, Arial, or Georgia are recommended as they reduce eye strain and allow you to focus on content rather than deciphering text.

For materials you need to remember, some studies suggest that fonts with moderate perceptual difficulty (like Comic Sans or Bodoni) might slightly improve retention compared to very easy-to-read fonts.

Sans Forgetica was specifically designed by researchers at RMIT University to boost memory retention through "desirable difficulty." The font's unique back-slanted, fragmented style is meant to slow reading just enough to encourage deeper processing.

However, subsequent independent research has cast doubt on its effectiveness:

• A comprehensive study with 882 participants found no memory improvement compared to standard fonts
• While the font feels harder to read, this difficulty doesn't translate to better recall
• Researchers now recommend proven study techniques over specialized fonts

While Sans Forgetica is an interesting concept, evidence suggests it doesn't provide the memory benefits initially claimed.
