You don’t realise it until you see something truly bad.

I remember there was an algorithms book that was set in this typeface that was literally difficult to read. It made it harder to process the content.

The way things look is important.

Perhaps I should have said “some typeface”. I can’t remember the name of the book or the font.

I remember the book was laid out using TeX though.
