“ At MyFonts, we like people who take risks; we appreciate the courage of type designers who go where no type designer has gone before. One such pioneer is Frenchman Thomas Huot-Marchand, whose amazing text typeface Minuscule came out last December. Minuscule was specially developed for setting texts at 6-point and smaller – down to 2-point, which is about the size of a footnote in a matchbox-size bible. Having thoroughly tested reading behavior at these extreme sizes, Huot-Marchand realized that with each step down, legibilty decreases so quickly that it was necessary to design a separate master (or basic drawing) for each point size. He developed five versions, optimized for a use in 6 (Minuscule Six), 5 (Cinq), 4 (Quatre), 3 (Trois) and 2 points (Deux).
MyFonts: Rising Stars, February 2008—Minuscule is impressive. Makes me wish I had some fine print to set.
