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.

Of those I think the bottom two would be my preference bc of the taper on the really short strokes

Particularly for something like the first character in the bottom right a beginner might think some of those strokes are combined without clearer differentiation
