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.

Get your orientalist bullshit out of here. You people only use this argument against Chinese and never any other language, when the writing system is integral to how the language and culture works more so than any other living language.
