Hey, people

sorry to start my forumcareer *harharhar* with a question, but hey.

I’m in search of typographers who design fonts for screen purpose.
Some help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks in advance

’Screen purposes’ encompasses a lot of different technologies: CRT screens, LCD screens, TV screens and computer monitors, b/w vs. greyscale or colour, etc. Type for screen is typically optimised for particular technology. Can you be more specific in your inquiry?

I make grayscale pixelfonts. Basically because I think they deliver the most readable onscreen type (in the sizes currently most useful). I think gs pixelfonts are even better than ClearType (which suffers from three flaws) except maybe in Italics.
