+# Designer-circle Urban Myth
+
+* _There is a "dazzle" effect in modern types_: this seems to have arisen after 2000. Wikipedia cites the earliest mention
+  of this is in Cees W. De Jong et al. 2005; I don't know if they are responsible for this myth or not. Modern types
+  has survived several generations of people, two world wars, facilitated mass literacy, been used from books to train timetables. It
+  certainly does not dazzle anybody before the internet was invented, nor me.
+* _Didone types are not suitable to body text because of high contrast, so body size fonts need to be made sort of non-Didone,
+  non-modern to be readable_: I read this on Wikipedia and from several bloggers, but, to be fair to Firmin Didot, Giambattista Bodoni and
+  many others who are dead and hence unable to make a comment on the internet, the sentence should be rephrased as "many people in the 21st
+  century dislike high contrast fonts in body text."  Not even the rephrased sentence is true, though, as the entire mathematics community
+  has decided to use, as their default, Computer Modern, whose 10pt and 12pt still have quite extreme a contrast.
