I see a lot of complaints about the font, and I'm just curious what makes it so hard to read? Is English your second language, I know reading Japanese for me in different or (worse!) handwritten makes it 10x harder for me to read. Are you just not used to a handwritingish font, and only read more typewritery fonts? Older than me (35+)?

It just feels weird that a perfectly legible font has multiple complaints, and I don't understand why or how?

I think the font is just "different" enough that it sets off something in people.

Ironically, it's also the default font used by Excalidraw (Virgil IIRC), and people seem to generally like the style + legibility of Excalidraw-drawn diagrams.

To me, it's not the font face in particular, but that it's sized too small for the complexity of the font face, specifically.

The font is very small. And unusual.
