Hello,

So i'm looking for fonts that are not easy to read. For most things, I usually pick, of course, the most clean and easy-to-read fonts, but for this small project, I need just the opposite. Would you folks know of free, hard-to-read fonts?


Something like the following:

I don't know of any, but you sparked my curiosity. What project are you doing that needs hard-to-read fonts?

Be careful with faux-arabic fonts, you never know what madman you'll offend. :D

"Porcelain" can be very hard to read at small sizes.

I am not sure the legality of these, however they might be free for personal use. The creators obviously want you to download them.
