This is an amazingly small sub-pixel font – it has 3 pixel x-height and is still legible. Great for icons and fav icons etc. Created by a Slovenian student, you can read more about it at his Typophile blog.

Web fonts debate yet again…

Posted on October 12th, 2009 in Web Typography by admin

There will be another panel discussion about web fonts, this time at the 2009 ATypI conference, Mexico City on 26-30 October.

Type design legend John Berry will chair the panel about font embedding: “It’s all about getting new fonts onto a web page, so the content doesn’t all end up in default Times or Arial. After a wide-ranging but inconclusive panel on web fonts at TypeCon in July, this time around some of the browser makers will be represented — and the focus will widen to include *how* fonts are used on the web. ”

You can listen to the TypeCon panel here. Its provides a good overview of the debate so far.
