This looks much better. I'll report back when I'm done reading.

  Cool. Curious if others like this style better than the original link also.

    About half way through, and it's going very well. I think that I mostly had a problem just understanding the letters of the original font. It's probably harder for me to convert using a normal font, but at least I can read it in general.
    - trogdoro 15y ago
      Maybe a hybrid between the two would help?

    The other seems more effective to me. There is a clash between styles that takes away from the reading on this one.

When I read that style I feel like I focus on the normal letters and ignore the new characters.
- trogdoro 15y ago
  Yeah, I had a similar reaction. I wonder if it would be interesting to have a hybrid. Like maybe the letters could start out as Roman, then change (one at a time) into the letter-shaped dots, then change (one at a time) into just dots.

I spent quite a bit of time on the first link, but I also quite like this one. I think to me a lot of the value is just gradually introducing a few characters at a time - not really sure about how much my brain is picking up the shapes of the letters subconsciously. Would be interesting to do an experiment. I would actually prefer that the hints stayed for all the letters, even without a grey line or whatever. I used it very rarely (and have enough self-discipline not to overuse it) but once in a while when I've forgotten a letter, or are not sure, it's a pain to look it up because the hint has disappeared. It would be fun to experiment with putting this font on my Kindle btw.
