According to an August 23, 2014, which I will reproduce below for posterity because I can't find a way to link to it and am not able to access it except through a which will probably be wiped sooner or later, the font was likely one of the few available for the Chyron that would have been able to be made big enough to read on a 13' clue screen at a distance across a soundstage.
Well, there might not have been much choice at the time Korinna was picked. Also there seemed to be some curiosity in the article as to why Korinna would be picked given that there are more legible fonts.
I noted the article's dig at 'lack of proper i.e., curly quotes and apostrophes' and wondered what the date was that the show switched to straight quotes (they used to be curly back in the '80s and maybe some of the '90s). The page doesn't say what font is used when the text of a clue is occasionally superimposed over a celebrity video read. Came across reviewing the fonts used on the show, with some images.
