This gives you eight levels (plus blank)[1]. Most of the type I read is at least twice that many pixels high. [1]:https://github.com/holman/spark/blob/master/s

- tel 15y agoTufte honestly thinks pixelated type is pretty terrible, too. 16 pixel density is embarrassing compared to printed or pressed text. But in either case, it's obvious that's a silly argument. Trends posterized to 8 levels are far easier to read in "sparkbar" form than as a list of numbers. It's suboptimal, but better than the plain list.
