Verdana
Screen-optimized digital lettering
Verdana is a sans-serif typeface designed for screen readability, with wide letters and generous spacing that remain clear at small sizes.
Microsoft commissioned it in the 1990s and bundled it with Windows, making it ubiquitous in early web design.
The name combines "verdant" with Ana, the designer's daughter.
