SECTION 5: HOW TO CHOOSE
How to Choose Pixel Fonts for Retro and Game Design
- Match the job: decorative faces work best for short display copy, while supporting text needs a highly readable companion.
- Test the full character set: confirm numerals, punctuation, accents, and alternate glyphs required by your project.
- Check the final medium: screen, print, Cricut, embroidery, and POD production can expose different spacing and detail limitations.
