Somewhat off-topic, but font can really have a huge impact on non-native readers. I rarely have problems reading things in Japan these days, but some of the typography here is downright cryptographic.
- hudibras 12y agoI was thinking the same thing. The bottom two posters are much easier for me to read than the top ones because the fonts are more like the ones in my textbooks or in the newspapers. That said, the top two posters' typography is much more interesting and a native Japanese reader would have zero difficulty reading them.
