Typotheque: Font Hinting
june 2010
Peter Biľak: "Notice how different the outlines are in order to achieve the optimal legibility of screen. Every letter is basically designed for each point size again. This is exactly what hinting is about: programming instructions that fine-tune a font’s rasterisation, the process by which its mathematically ideal outlines are mapped onto a monitor’s pixels."
