To me it looks like a 1000x magnification of like a size 7-9pt helvetica/arial on screen, faux-italicized, using the Mac OS 9 rendering engine with atm turned off.
Am I making sense?
Anway. It would be cool to see some words. Maybe uppercase set too?
Ryan, You are close to the idea. Letters are based on screen view of stardart typeface. Initially I was thinking about pseudoitalic typeface, which would be both clearly readable in small sizes and primitivized, but not 'pixel'. I never use Mac. Uppercase is not so 'compact' but it still preserves the idea. I'll try to post the picture later.
