At least, I think the 2-pixel high Two Slice font can be more legible with some anti-aliasing.
The linked one is unreadable at all to me lol
The highest DPI screen is 127,000 PPI. You could fit over 14,000 lines of 8x8 text in a single inch tall screen.
For reference, a decent monitor is 140 PPI.
I'm pretty sure we don't need to go below 8x8 if physical size is the issue.
And yeah, you could throw on more hardware to have a display nearby and use that for text. That is not the problem being solved though.
It’s not so readable if you test it with random strings.
If you start writing things that aren’t sentences normal people would use (or especially if you start mixing case) it doesn’t hold up. Still interesting for a “normal” use case though.
How will I know if it's waxy or wavy?
Why would hair be like 80s synthpop, or potatoes be in any way related to a by-product of honey?
(I sort of randomly picked 42, didn't know it was such an interesting string… Douglas Adams must have known that)
Um... Nope. I can't.
I can get some of the letters, but not most of them, unfortunately.
Love the concept, and the art, that goes into things like this. But I just cannot read it.*
* I have nerve problems in my eyes. I'm not legally blind... Most of the time.
Interesting, and given the limitation, it’s quite impressive.
But I think “probably” is optimistic. I’d say “possibly” is more realistic.
