It seems strange that they would lump font with vocabulary. The font is
an aesthetic trait, but word choice is more intellectual. Admittedly,
both of these can have a perceptive impact on the reader, even before the
subject begins to read the text.
I wonder what the stats were for simple font/advanced vocabulary and
complex font/simple vocabulary.
