I was surprised by how functional it is. I thought an analog, print-first font would look weird on an OLED screen, but it actually made the UI look more serious and it gets out of the way. I also found it's much easier for my brain to sight-read than the curvy Samsung font, funnily enough. I think it must be because I've encountered Times since childhood meaning the shapes of the words are burnt into my brain. Or perhaps it's the thick/thin parts of the letters being where my brain expects them to be. |

Honestly? No. It looks like the first own design my son would come up after a one week course of web design. |

I think it makes it look like a cheap drop-shipped device from China, but if it improves readability for you then go for it! |

For those wondering, I also tried Sans Forgettica OpenDyslexic, the special font for people with dyslexia, and I still found Times easier to read.
Isn't Sans Forgetica the opposite of a font for dyslexics? |

Yeah, it seems like it. The most common fonts intended to actually help dyslexics seem to be Dyslexie and OpenDyslexic, although I’ve also seen people say Comic Sans is good. |

You just renewed my appreciation for good font choices. Good font choices include many fonts in many contexts, but unless you're writing a college paper, times new Roman isn't one of them imo |

It looks like you corrupted your fonts so it loaded times new Roman as the default |

Haha, I just remembered how many people find my visual taste to be ugly. People felt similar about my GTK theme:

To be truly authentic, the time should be in Roman numerals. |
