I don't think the point is "vectors adhering to a grid", quite the contrary it looks to me that the author is exposing the raw materials of a font which are, essentially, bezier curves expressed as ones and zeroes. I think the image that better conveys that idea is this: https://d14810e2jnirzn.cloudfront.net/media/documents/Signifier-Sharpness-Blunt-Heldane-a.svg https://d14810e2jnirzn.cloudfront.net/media/documents/Signif... The non-signifier fonts have some extra points in their bezier curves, which are bits in disk, traveling on the network, stored in memory and processed by the rendering engine that are going to be completely wasted when rendered at 16pts. That's quite profound for me. And I'm not an authority in Brutalism, but looks like the author was faithful to what he thinks brutalism is concerned with (from the article): > Brutalism is not concerned with the material as such but rather the quality of the material, that is with the question: what can it do?
