   Hi Ray,

   You have posted this privately - would you like me to switch it to a public post so other Anki users can see it?

   I've made this post public for you.

   Regarding the font, it seems similar to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3743993/ in encouraging people to pay a bit more attention. Whether it's worth the tradeoffs or not, I don't know.

   I've used it for 3 months and have not seen any remarkable improvement in retention worth the headache it caused me.
   Do make sure to get familiar with each character before using it. I mistakenly remembered NS5B as NS58 since 8 and B looked similar in the font.
