# 11px Verdana on Retina Displays

[![11px Verdana font on iPad and MacBook Pro Retina displays](https://kaspars.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/11px-verdana-on-retina-ipad-macbook.png?strip=all&quality=90&resize=500,250 "11px Verdana font on iPad and MacBook Pro Retina displays")](https://kaspars.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/11px-verdana-on-retina-ipad-macbook.png)

Do you remember the days of 11px Verdana used almost universally across the web? This how it looks relative to the new high resolution devices with Retina displays.

[Here is a sample page with some text set in 11px Verdana](http://11px.konstruktors.com). It would be great if you could snap a photo of this page being rendered on one of the high resolution screens. Use the hashtag `#11pxverdana`.
