Whoever did the ◀ ◀ REW graphic for Apple's homepage today has never used a one-bit display with Chicago.
Besides the arrows being impossible to render, the glyphs in the text didn't have the standard 6:9 ratio. Also lots of anti-aliasing which is kind of hard to do when your only choices are black or white 😉
I pretended to be Susan Kare and fixed it, bottom is the original, top is my interpretation.
@chockenberry As a motion designer I often have to wrestle with After Effects to eliminate subpixel antialiasing when I want those hard pixels.
It's not even about retro resolution — your "interpretation" just looks better even blown up so large.
And I'm not terribly surprised — even in the mid-aughts I worked with self-proclaimed UX designers that ignored the pixel grid in drawing tools like Adobe Illustrator.
