Is there any peer-reviewed studies about this or are those claims unsubstantiated?


There is some research which suggests that the human brain “learns” to read an unfamiliar font reasonably fluently after about 30 minutes of use, and that recognition continues to improve with continued use. The well-known saying “we read best what we read most” suggests that a font itself contributes only partly towards readability - your personal habits and experience are also significant.


No studies at all, all the claims are anecdotal at best.
