Silkscreen Font

Silkscreen is a really great font to use on projects requiring small font sizes. Perfect for menus and small buttons. It is quite legible at 8pt - clear and easy to read.

Make sure to read the developers instructions and instructions. (Apparently, it doesn't work well in Flash.) Here is a blurb:

"In order to preserve the proper spacing and letterforms, Silkscreen should be used at 8pt. multiples (8pt., 16pt., 24pt., etc.) with anti-aliasing turned off. For larger text (larger than 64pt.), you can use whatever size you want without too much of a problem."
