ABOUT







Ken Perlin

Ken Perlin (Professor of Computer Science in the Media Research Lab of New York University) set out to design the smallest screen font that would actually be readable. My goal was to have something that is clearly readable, yet can fit an entire page of text onto a QVGA screen (e.g., an Apple iPod or T-Mobile SideKick). In contrast, I have noticed that Microsoft's smallest screen fonts are unreadable, whereas their smallest readable screen fonts are way bigger than necessary.
