The offset pixel on that look horrible, but they also look like a lot of the web fonts I see day-to-day when I have font smoothing disabled. Are modern fonts actually being designed like that for some reason?
- wmil 11y agoYou need to spend a lot of time tweaking font hinting to make a font that looks good at low res without smoothing. Designers don't bother anymore.
