Font fiasco

Paper Knight in the 3D world
A downloadable game

Ran into a new problem today: the font. On screen it looked crisp and elegant, but after printing on my home printer it’s coming out way too faint. It feels like the text is whispering when it should be speaking clearly.

I’m not happy with it, so I’m going back to rework the typography. My main worry is that changing the font weight or style might mess with all the careful formatting.

It’s a delicate operation, like reforging a sword without ruining the engraving. But if I can make it easier to read while keeping the aesthetic intact, it’ll be worth it.
