Choosen by ERIK SPIEKERMANN

" The first impression is shock. A typeface for extremely small sizes shown in 48pt is not necessarily pretty.

That is the nature of type specimens: we want to see details that aren't meant to be seen in the real application. Thomas Huot-Marchand, the designer, goes to extreme lenghts to explain these details, but the first thing I did was to print a page from the PDF specimen provided. It works! Extremely readable at extremely small sizes, i.e. anything below 7pt."
