    Just like lukehh i have a somewhat "german" taste in fonts. I also like those DIN-Fonts and similar ones.
    Technical, clear and very easy to read, even at very small size.

    But theres one font i don't know the name of ...
    it's used for the credits in the movie "Lucky Number Slevin".
    If someone knows what font that is, please tell me! I have to have it!

    My least favorite/most hated font right now,
    is the one used in this article, and many other News sites..

    I don't know what's the font called,
    I don't know if the problem is W7 or Firefox..

    But there's something wrong with it, as if the vertical lines disappeared,
    but it's not me, my eyes work perfectly.. I just cannot read it, and need to Zoom the page at 150% to see it..

    [​IMG]

    At 150%, it suddenly looks like any other font..

    [​IMG]

    What's this font,
    and why is this happening?

    Is it only on Windows7?

    You can try it on any font managing/selling page. Just enter your own text and see if it is the right one :wink:

    I like the the text font "Traffic".

    It's great for when you need to read something from a mile off.

    Well, as I said earlier, Windows has subpar font rendering. This is what it looks like in Firefox on Debian Linux at 100%:

    This is at 80%:

    Screenshot 2022-02-25 at 18-32-31 Una gárgola 2.png

    This is at 60%, still quite readable:

    I think that's all perfectly readable. Especially when used with "Dark Background and Light Text" add-on. Don't you think? :wink:

    Looks like a resolution error to me. This is how it looks here with Win7 at 100% in FF
    [​IMG]

    and in Opera
    [​IMG]

    I can even zoom out to 50% and it's still readable.

    Businesses often hire Custom Logo Design Agency to ensure their brand has a professionally crafted, original, and impactful visual identity.

    Edit: My new favorite site is 'Fonts In Use'
    https://fontsinuse.com/[/QUOTE]

    I've always just used DaFont and Illustrator but this site is legit. Thank you.

    I'm weird. I like System Mono
