My bad guys, I don’t even see the bionic font anymore
Why some letters are bolder than others? Is it some kind of sbeve meme?
Nah, it’s something called Bionic Reading that can help make reading faster for people with ADHD. It’s kinda pseudoscientific tho - I find it works decently for me but it may just be placebo
Never heard of this, interesting. Read some text with this, and I have a feeling it slows me down, as my eyes stop at each word now. When I read normally my eyes just roll on the text. But afaik I don’t have ADHD.
The stopping at each word is the point of it for me (I do have ADHD). It makes sure I actually read it and not just scan over it without absorbing it.
A microsecond pause every word is a lot faster than reading a passage 4 times in order to understand it.
any sans-serif font that’s used for a text that’s longer than a couple of words is a hindrance for reading
I’ve always found that interesting because I find serif fonts much more difficult to read
That’s bionic reading. It helps some people (like those with ADHD) focus on the text better.
Enough about the bionic font, where does the quote come from?
It’s from a webnovel, The Legendary Mechanic Chapter 1040ish
What’s going on with the font weight? Accessibility measure?
It is, but personally for me it has the opposite effect. I get distracted by it.
It’s like beer goggles, but it made me functionally illiterate. I could read each word individually and yet they meant nothing since I couldn’t retain the context. The effort involved in decoding each word meant the rest of the words in the sentence were long gone from my memory. All I remember is the word friendship because I said it out loud at some point.
