A whole page about typography in a typeface that is completely inapproprate for users reading a screen.
- ugh 17y agoWhy? Looks quite good with subpixel anti-aliasing. The nineties are over. Nearly everyone has high resolution screens and every major OS now defaults to subpixel anti aliasing. No reason not to use a quite nice font like Minion Pro.
- briansmith 17y agoIt doesn't look that nice to me. I think that is a font that is designed for Apple/Adobe style subpixel anti-aliasing instead of ClearType anti-aliasing. For someone like me, who greatly prefers ClearType, this font looks very ugly (mostly because it seems semi-bold).
- ugh 17y agoSemi-Bold = Ugly? Now I'm confused. (Seemed ok to me on a XP machine.)
- CoryMathews 17y agoAgreed. I always love when people talk about typography then use a font that look like complete crap when viewed.
