Agreed, subject to caveats. I don't like the typography in this project. Fonts for display on screens are generally simpler than ones in print, which works better with the lower available resolution. I don't dislike serif fonts per se, but I do think the fonts chosen in this project are overly complex for the medium.
- olefoo 11y agoIt's a matter of being attuned to the needs of your audience. These days retina screens are the rule rather than the exception for some user populations. The difference in resolution between print and screens has already gone away for a lot of people.
- Arnt 11y agoThat was true back in the time of 72dpi and 96dpi screens, no question, but do you think it remains true now? I don't have figures for deployed laptops, but google collects data, and https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/ https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/ says 80% of android phones have a display resolution above 240dpi. AIUI few printed publications use resolutions as high as 240dpi.
- glogla 11y agoWell, 1366768 on 15" dislay is 100 PPI. Lot of consumer class laptop have displays like that. Hell, even Lenovo T450 or T550 have 1600900 14" (127 PPI) or 1920*1080 15" (140 PPI) displays, and those are expensive, professional machines. Generally displays in laptops are terrible, unless you go with ultrabook or Apple.
