Config 2024: In defense of an old pixel (Marcin Wichary, Director of Design, Figma)
Say hi to Marcin. He’s obsessed with pixel fonts and wants to take you on a journey through all 3,000 that he has found. Yes, he actually promised he will show you ALL of them! “But it’s not just for nostalgia,” he says. “Pixel fonts are a much richer, much more approachable, and an ever-relevant canvas for creativity. I want you to fall in love with pixel fonts the way I keep falling in love with them, over and over again."
Featuring: Marcin Wichary, Director of Design, Figma

Because it was one of the few from someone who sounds like an actual designer talking about design.

We're losing the joy of exploring and maximising the possibility of constraints - that's really what's wrong with technology today.

This is geeky and I love it. I used to do that in the Windows Xp times, and one major advantage of pixel fonts is unbeatable readability at 8px size. later edit: funny how when it got deep, some were rushing out to get their pumpkin spice mocha lattes
