nanofont3x4 is the world’s smallest readable 3×4 font with readable lowercase glyphs. It includes upper case (3×3) plus 1 pixel leading, and lowercase (some are 2×2!). The practicality of such a font is debatable, with potential uses like rendering in-game book pages or creating accurate print previews. The motivation behind creating such a font was to push the limits of typography and challenge oneself. The project aimed to understand the essence of a glyph and explore readability in tiny designs. There are challenges with certain word combinations like ‘co’ or ‘x’, but overall, the font is mostly readable. The content also references related works and calls for researchers to provide their code for independent verification.
