I think the two senses of "design" are confusing the issue. If he's absolving the typographer for not accounting for retina displays, fine, but it sounds to me like he's absolving the typographer for making a poor decision with an after-the-fact assertion that it was intentional. I don't think intending for something to suck is an adequate excuse.
- sp332 14y agoTitle fonts can be a lot weirder than body fonts. If tweaking it to look good at smaller sizes made it look crappy at large sizes, that was an acceptable tradeoff at the time.
- fusiongyro 14y agoModern fonts, particularly at least OpenType, can embed different information for different sizes pretty easily. If this problem could be solved by using a more modern font format and better quality fonts, that seems like a better approach.
