Liquid crystal d¡&play& ыг most commonly used for products at the lower end of the computer
market. Typographically they are characterised by their uery sharp^edged pixels which add high-
frequencij noise to text, resulting in illegibility, John Baxter, an American typographer, suggests that
a hexagon honeycomb pixel arrangement might be an alternatine to the rectangular pixels used today.
Hex is a sans-serif typeface specially designed for the aforementioned liquid crystal displays. It was
originally designed in 13pt. at 12dpi. Its capitals auoid the squareness of early sans-serif typefaces
such as FUTURA and АІШПТ GflRDt. The typeface is modeled upon the humanist minuscule, ihe uneuen
stroke weight of the face reflects the action of a quill. Its distinguishing feature is a hard angular
transition from the stems to the curues which giues it a black letter look.
