Use Wild Fonts
Although most people have heard the spiel about the quality of certain fonts, like Papyrus or Comic Sans, looking childish or unprofessional, there will come a time when you can use crazy fonts for personal benefit. Studies have found that one of the best ways to learn and retain information is to read it in a wild font. While the size or boldness of the font is thought to have little influence on this, the harder it is to read the letters, the easier it becomes to retain to the information.
Why? Let’s go back to the tip about concentrating on something for 8 seconds of longer. The more you have to concentrate on something, the more that information is committed to memory. Crazy fonts work the same way.
Interestingly, the same rule does not apply to bold fonts. Researchers asked people to memorize a list of words, some of the words typed in bold and others normal weight. Participants assumed the bold words would be easier to recall and therefore studied them less, leading to less recollection of those words.
