Professor Arguin is a professor at the Université de Montréal – Faculty of Arts and Sciences – Department of Psychology. His area of research is visual neurocognition.

Example of the OptimUM font

The OptimUM font was produced by this algorithm to speed up reading and reduce reading effort. So, unlike a wide variety of typefaces, OptimUM was created with performance in mind rather than aesthetics. After a short familiarization period, a font produced by this algorithm offers a 25% gain in reading speed.
