A few interesting modern pixel fonts

Re: A few interesting modern pixel fonts
#32Two Slice is smaller than other tiny pixel fonts I've seen. Maybe the smallest legible font? Depends on your definition of legibility I guess.

ya because Vercel generated the copy with an LLM
Some people wrote like that before LLMs polluted the water. Just like people used em dashes before LLMs. I used bullet points heavily before LLMs.
Many many years ago I wrote a book for Apress, and the style guide for that instilled in me a lot of practices that now make my writing feel LLM-ish to some readers:
- Use bulleted lists, but always introduce and conclude a list with prose; a list can't immediately follow a heading or end a section.
- Use a mix of long and short sentences; in long sentences with parentheticals, use a mix of commas, parens, semicolons, and em dashes.
- With multiple continuous blocks of prose that aren't naturally broken up by an illustration or heading, start a paragraph with an inline bold statement to help anchor the reader.

#35Analog Mono and Two Slice are really neat. If you like those, you'll probably also like another of my favorite modern pixel fonts: Departure Mono. https://departuremono.com
Came here to say the same, I actually like Departure so much I use it as my coding and Terminal font. I'll definitely be trying out the fonts in the original post.

I felt personally attacked when LLMs came out: I'm an avid user of "—", bullets, numbered lists, and the word "delve". It's been a miserable couple of years.

I still use bullets extensively. You can easily tell when a human writes them when they are trees instead of lists.
I don't think even that is a reliable indicator because I'm currently reviewing an LLM generated bullet tree right now.

There's an interesting symmetry between the knitting, perler bead and pixel art crowds.
