I don't know what search terms you used, but I got lost in a thicket of docs on generating and uploading entirely custom tilesets, which I was hoping not to have to do. Thanks for the link, less so for the snark!

I can convince you that this pattern of lit-up phosphors looks grabbable by knowing what artists have long known about shadow and lighting to give such elements affordance ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affordance)—an appearance of tactile

I plan to do a followup post about design and objectivity: the fallacy that design can be reduced to an A/B testing formula.

TL;DR there's no science to back up one being better than the other. Other attributes of a typeface can have an effect for certain mediums (example, large x-height making type readable on screens). Choose typefaces to match the tone of your

Interesting. We develop oauthlib (an OAuth logic implementation for python, https://github.com/idan/oauthlib ). Will has a chat with the other contributors about implementing this.
