Thin Fonts for Small Screens with PixelFonts
Pixel fonts on a small screen

[mcer12] has developed the PixelFonts family, a set of condensed fonts designed to fit the maximum possible amount of text on each line of small, low-resolution displays.

  • It works with the AdafruitGFX or U8g2 libraries.
  • It offers regular and 3D shadowed versions, along with various height and weight options.
  • Due to space constraints, accented letters are supported only in lowercase.
  • Each font comes with a BDF file so it can be easily modified.

Subpixel rendering on color LCDs is also cited as another way to improve the readability of small fonts.
