  • The description of this terrible font as "highly readable" amuses me.
    It might be on a retina screen but it's frightful on an iPad 2.
    Tiny squished up letterforms, low x-height, low letter spacing, poor hinting (which is better on the smaller size than the original, granted). Really to claim everything else is done in the name of legibility and then to ignore all the screen-optimised fonts in favour of this thing is baffling.

    (And yes, I do have an up to date prescription in my glasses.)

  • Do agree. It's not a very good screen font. Even with higher resolutions today there's still a large variation in how fonts are rendering cross-browser and serif fonts seem to come off much worse than well-hinted sans-serifs. Some are just awful.
