The goofy suit…
One font I wish I had taken with me from my time at Hallmark Cards was their custom Charles Shultz font. They had developed a font from Shultz’s Peanuts lettering for their card line. It was a technically amazing font, with the most complex litigures and kerning pairs I’d ever seen. Apparently Schultz had a dozen distinct ways of drawing an “a” depending on the preceding and following letters.
If I was still doing font work, I’d love to make one from R. Crumb’s lettering.
For readability on the printed page, it’s tough to beat Century Schoolbook, which was designed to be easy to scan (better for young readers). Feels a bit like TNR, but TNR was designed to squeeze a lot of text into a newspaper, and tends to be cramped.

It’s been seen on our official government Town Meeting Notices.
Could Sturgeon Bay be described as a Mickey Mouse town?

Since it’s been rezzed, I might as well before it gets closed:
All of this has a ton to do with something called hinting. At smaller font sizes, the font is nudged to make it align with the pixel boundaries of your screen, making the letters clearer. This has an effect of removing the idiosyncrasies of the font.
They’re not just too small to see–they aren’t there at all.
