Departure Mono: a modern pixel font (departuremono.com)

It not often we get to have a nice looking modern pixel font. Designed by Helena Zhang. It has good international support and even old-style numerals!

It is on a SIL open font license "you can use them in books, posters, artwork, logos, and on websites, even make 3D objects with the outlines—no acknowledgement is required".

Wonder if there’s a more standardized format to encode pixel fonts for use in tiny displays and that kind of thing.

Bitmaps is the answer for embedded platforms at least. Puxel-perfectly pre-rendered.
