I would describe typed code as more readable, not less. I take “readability” to mean ease of understanding, not how much my code sounds like written english. Not knowing what the type of something is makes understanding harder.

Inferred types seem to be an indication that even the most type-safe languages (eg rust) recognize that types hinder readability, at least in some way.
