Why Matchworks?
And why does it look so shitty? Huh? Very simple: I needed a font
that can be displayed at minimum sizes yet be readable: Matchworks
is built on a 5x5 DotMatrix, i.e. if you render it at 10pt Fontsize
in Photoshop or Fireworks it's exactly 5 pixels high (for better results
with other sizes use 20pt, 30pt, 40pt etc. with anti-aliasing turned
off). Kinda useful for Mini-Buttons or less important links (like
"send complaints to the webmaster :)))"). No new idea, I've
already seen a similar font built for the same reasons, but I couldn't
find it again.
The Name? Matrix + Patchwork + Fireworks (that's
obviously what I made it for) + Matchbox or so. As you see I'm sometimes
really running out of fancy :) |
