The rhetorical principles of choosing an unreadable font?

Am missing the rhetorical part.

Cheers,

Sean

Arroxane, thank you for sending this! It provides scientific proof of
what
we've known all along. Not only were the rhetoric principles we learned
in
school correct (for those of us with formal communications training),
but
also...that it's not "just" formating. Formatting communicates
something!
So--now we have a little something to show our less-convinced
coworkers.... :-)
