fun read. a few years ago i got pretty obsessed with boustrophedon script, which feels to me in a similar category. still feels like such an elegant solution to 'oh these lines are getting too long'. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boustrophedon

I find this: https://i0.wp.com/biblequestions.info/wp-content/uploads/202... surprisingly easy to read; although obviously I already know a lot of what's coming, I can still pick up on the working I'm unsure of. That said, words like "debts" still threw me b/c of the 'd' looking like a 'b' and vice-versa.

I wonder if typesetting like this can be combined with https://bionic-reading.com/ ? The above emphesises text is a regular way, but I reckon you could train an AI on people reading different empesised text, and track where they slow-down or mis-speak; and as such figure out how a different emphesis could improve comprehension (of the text)?
