Default "Made for display" font
permalink

I've found a font that I particularly like and I was wondering what 'made for display' actually means. I just want to be sure of the limitations, if any, of the font for all uses.

Thanks.

It means the font is specifically for display on screen for legibility, and may not look so pretty if you use the font on a printed document.
