I am fascinated by the phenomenon of how perception of type is affected by gestalt and physiological stuff. It is really evident with screen typography, and the smaller it gets, the more obvious it becomes. Here is an example: there is no way I could tell what the letters are in the large version, but at a small size (below right), I can make them out. (Open image to see the original).
It’s from this Typophile thread, which is worth reading not only for the discussion of the subject, but also for the vituperation as StoneCypher practically climbs into his computer to attack Miha and his claims.
