'It should be difficult enough, but not too difficult or too easy,' contributor Janneke Blijlevens told the Sydney Morning Herald.
'There is an optimal level of difficulty to read which leads to the highest memory retention.'
A study in 2012 found harder-to-read fonts aided memory recall. In that research, Comic Sans and Bodoni were the hard-to-read fonts, and Arial the easy.
'We've all skimmed through text, got to the end, and realised we didn't process the information very well,' Princeton University professor Daniel Oppenheimer said at the time. 'Making text harder to skim prevents that from happening.'
Sans Forgetica was one of many tested at RMIT on 400 university students. Those who read text written in Sans Forgetica were able to recall 57 percent of it afterwards, compared to 50 percent for plain old' Arial.
Each letter has a portion missing, and the entire alphabet leans backwards.
'You would certainly never set an entire novel in it,' said RMIT typography lecturer Stephen Banham. 'I like to think of it as blue cheese - it works very well in small portions.'
