WHAT'S UP: Micro Buttons

Ever wondered what the hell kinda font people have been using for those tiny 'link to' buttons? Well, out of absolute boredom I figured it out. All hail the almighty Google blah blah blah.

These tinies are called 'micro buttons'. Though they are not for the visually inept they do provide a good bit of linky information in a stylish manner and they take away very little of the site's design. Hell often times they add to the site's design. Here are the specs for making your own:

• The standard micro button size is 80x15.


• The universal font used for them is Silkscreen by Jason Kottke.


• Most of the time these buttons have a small white cut to the left to display initials or whatever, but they come in all styles.

Happy button making and remember: Uncut Columbian is only uncut if you're in Columbia.
