Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Customisable
The user can adjust letter-spacing, line-height, and choose alternate characters prior to downloading.
Pro Novel use of ligatures to display ascii character combinations as symbols
The common expression '!=' is displayed as '≠', '>=' as '≥' *, while maintaining the fixed width double-space that these characters would normally take, so as to maintain text alignment.
- Many others are supported too - see site for details.
Pro Open source
Monoid is open source meaning it's freely available to anyone.
Pro Sharpness
Pro Larger and easier to read with thin condensed letters
Pro Fine without retina
Probably the only one that is.
Pro Legible at extremely small point sizes
Tiny Font stands at just 4 pixels short (5 with descenders), yet includes every printable ASCII character.
Cons
Con Very narrow
Con No bold-italic style
Monoid doesn't offer a style that is both bold and italic.
Con Pointless to use this for legibility unless you're on an exceptionally small screen device
The tiny point size does not scale well. It's designed for a singular purpose and does well for that, but unless you're working around those limitations the poor readability will slow down your work.
Con Not as pretty as other fonts
Other options look better than Tiny Font at bigger sizes.
