Hi, I've been learning chinese these last six months. So far I've mostly used the system font in all apps and devices, so when I switch fonts I really struggle to recognize characters, even very familiar ones, but it's probably a very good exercise I think.
Anyways, just like with dislexia (I'm not dislexic) maybe the font can make a difference when learning new words. There's a reddit post that says so but eugh
Btw, I'm still not interested (right now) in practicing manually writing characters, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone yelled at me for not doing so.
I'm not going to yell at you, just want to say that writing a character 10 or 20 times is very effective at fixing it in your brain for recognition. even if you never intend to write
one trick that can be helpful is to use your finger to trace it on the table or whatever while you review
