I was surprised by how functional it is. I thought an analog, print-first font would look weird on an OLED screen, but it actually made the UI look more serious and it gets out of the way. I also found it's much easier for my brain to sight-read than the curvy Samsung font, funnily enough. I think it must be because I've encountered Times since childhood meaning the shapes of the words are burnt into my brain. Or perhaps it's the thick/thin parts of the letters being where my brain expects them to be.

Honestly? No.
It looks like the first own design my son would come up after a one week course of web design.

This has to be rage bait.

I think it makes it look like a cheap drop-shipped device from China, but if it improves readability for you then go for it!

I switched my phone to wingdings. It's horrible

You just renewed my appreciation for good font choices. Good font choices include many fonts in many contexts, but unless you're writing a college paper, times new Roman isn't one of them imo

Haha, I just remembered how many people find my visual taste to be ugly.
People felt similar about my GTK theme:

For those wondering, I also tried
Sans ForgetticaOpenDyslexic, the special font for people with dyslexia, and I still found Times easier to read.Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de · 6 pts · 186d
Isn't Sans Forgetica the opposite of a font for dyslexics?
As I understand it, it is supposed to make reading harder, not easier.
SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 186d
Ah youre right, I meant OpenDyslexic
MurrayL@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 186d
Yeah, it seems like it. The most common fonts intended to actually help dyslexics seem to be Dyslexie and OpenDyslexic, although I’ve also seen people say Comic Sans is good.

It looks like you corrupted your fonts so it loaded times new Roman as the default
Amuletta@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 185d
To be truly authentic, the time should be in Roman numerals.
