Sans Forgetica is a free-to-download font that supposedly helps you "remember your study notes", designed by typographer Stephen Banham and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology's Behavioural Business Lab. It's a remakably hostile mindhack: the letterforms are designed to be difficult to read without losing their legibility, thereby "prompting your brain to engage in deeper processing" and "question the gestalt understanding of type".
I'd like it more if it were a deliberate prank, sort of like that Jimmy Kimmel one where he tricked fashion week attendees into arrogantly boasting of knowing about designers and things that aren't real. It's called semiographic closure, honey, look it up.
