I prefer sans-serif fonts visually but prefer serif for readability. So I use Atkinson Hyperlegible which is a mish-mash of both.
And bonus meme:
Atkinson Hyperlegible is such a good font. I don’t care that it breaks style guides or whatever with the mixed serifs, it’s so nice and easy to read.
Slash through the 0 (zero) to distinguish from O (capital o) is nice. Those can be a mess too.
Similar to parent commenter, I don’t like serifs either, so only using them selectively for disambiguation is nice.
Same here, it’s just so much better.
A lot of fonts have stylistic alternatives for this, like Inter’s “disambiguation” setting! Not to talk Atkinson Hyperlegible down, it’s a great font!
There is also Hyperlegible Sans, which is a sort of Inter/AH hybrid
Weird.
My wife’s coworker girlfriend named “alexa” and he never go out for drinks and so after work because she didn’t let him, so they always tease him with “Alexa, can I go out to get a beer” “Permission denied. Come home immediately”. When they broke up and he got a new girlfriend, they named her Siri and joked that it was a upgrade because she let him drink with them after shift.
Sad AI Gore Noises
Was expecting AI Gore rhythm
He invented the internet, it’s all his fault, no wonder AI is named after him

Weird Al should do a parody of you can call me Al by Paul Simon, but change it to you can call me AI
One could film this parody in the style of ‘the bodyguard’ but with weird Al in the starring role, all made with AI ofcourse
Our HR person is an Al and every new hire thinks they’re an AI.
I’d just go by Elric.
That’s why I try to always type it out as A.I., in order to ensure there’s little confusion.
Apparently some people have also confused AI with a certain steak sauce.
If you’ll be my bodyguard. I can be your long lost pal.
Betty when you call me you can call me clanker.
join the serif revolution
What’s also frustrating is “al” is a word in Dutch, meaning although or everything. It’s often used at the start of a sentence, thus capitalised and indistinguishable from AI. After reading too much about A.I., which is unavoidable nowadays, it messes with reading everything, because every now and then a sentence starts with “al” and your brain messes up and you have to go back.
