Silkscreen Type Family Font By Jason Kottke

Silkscreen is a four member type family for your Web graphics created by Jason Kottke (from the popular kottke.org. Silkscreen, with both Mac and Windows versions, is free for personal and corporate use.

Silkscreen is a popular font and is used on quite a few Web sites. Silkscreen was designed from scratch using Adobe Photoshop 5.02 and Macromedia Fontographer 3.52 on Windows NT 4.0 by Kottke to learn “a little bit more about typography and Fontographer”.

Silkscreen is best used in places where extremely small graphical display type is needed. The primary use is for navigational items. Silkscreen should be used at 8pt. multiples (8pt., 16pt., 24pt., etc.) with anti-aliasing turned off. It is not available in lower case at present. Give it a try!

Update: Although this font is there on many sites, I was thinking very hard where I had seen it before by name. Of course on the Luca Zappa Antipixel Button Generator as the default font selection.
