The City of the Sub-Pixel

The City of One Question

The entire city is organized around a single, maddening question: Is it sharp enough?

In the bazaars, merchants do not haggle over price, but over the rendering of a serif. They debate the "bloat" of the modern world with religious fervor. They build monuments to the square checkbox, and mourn its passing. It is a city of high-resolution anxiety, where a blurry icon is considered a public sanitation hazard.

The inhabitants wear spectacles that magnify the world 200%. They see the jagged edges of reality that others ignore. They are the guardians of the crisp line, the defenders of the native UI. To walk here is to feel underdressed, as if your own resolution is slightly too low for the local standard.
