First subpixel typeface, ever.

It has x-height of 3 pixels, it is italic, inspired by old masters and most important – made by hand. You must not look too closely, because colors get visible. It’s work in progress.

Subpixel Typeface

Designed primarily for use in favicons, and comes in bold and bold-italic variants.

Even more amazing, the designer is using colour to achieve hinting and letterform legibility, with zero space between glyphs. Check out this extreme closeup:
