About "Verdana"

Specifically crafted to meet the challenges of on-screen display, the Verdana™ Family of fonts stands out as a unique example of type design for computer screens.

Renowned type designer Matthew Carter led the design, with hand-hinting expertise provided by Tom Rickner.

The sans-serif fonts' legibility on the screen is attributed to Verdana's generous character width and spacing.

While Verdana performs well at small sizes, it truly shines at higher resolutions.

Tom Rickner expresses hope that the appreciation for these fonts extends beyond the computer screen.

According to him, the screen size bitmaps were crucial in production, but the uses of Verdana should not be confined to on-screen typography.

The character set encompasses Latin-1 and WGL Pan-European, covering Eastern Europe, Cyrillic, Greek, and Turkish scripts.
