you may not be using flash… but these flash fonts translate to pixel fonts really well. they are designed to look great without anti-aliasing.

I used unibody on my site, a lot on my contents page. I know Speak Up uses unibody and cellular. I was one of the 8 million people who wrote and asked them. :-)

I think the lifespan of your design will be longer if you go with a raster font.

Pixel fonts?

In the quest to find a decent typeface for this website I’m working on (for a photographer — it’s very clean, white, gray type, lots of imagery) I’m thinking of bagging the helvetica route and going with a nice pixel font.

Just to throw it out there, how do people feel about pixel fonts on screen? Do people have any favorites?

I’m not talking anything fancy or gnarly - just simple - something rather than helvetica or myriad. This is the first website I’ve designed myself and I’m literally melting down about the type usage.

Thanks.
