Silkscreen

Designed by Jason Kottke

About

Silkscreen is a pixel typeface that was designed for rendering type at small sizes for web graphics. It’s got a chunky, retro-computing look that also works well when you use it big. Silkscreen includes two weights, regular and bold, that looks good on the web, mobile devices, and even in print.

Since its release in 1999, it has been used by companies like Flickr, Herman Miller, Volvo, and Adobe, by pop stars like Britney Spears and Carly Rae Jepsen, and in movies like The Bourne Legacy.
