The TrueType versions of this typeface have been tuned to be highly legible at low sizes, a quality level that is called ESQ ("Enhanced Screen Quality"), a term used by the foundry.[2][3]
Andy Bold is a casual script based on the handwriting of Steve's friend Andy Mead. Its most notable use is as the main font of all text displayed in the 2011 video game Terraria. It is also used on the cartridges for the Pokémon video games and in the closing credits of Top of the Pops spin-off, TOTP2.
