Art Bits from Hypercard

A lot of talented folks worked in and around Apple. Susan Kare in particular helped design and create most of the Macintosh graphics, and I bet she (or folks influenced by her) created some of these Hypercard art bits.

She also created the playing card art for Windows 3.x solitaire.

I believe she also designed the Chicago font, which was then used in iPods.

Classic Macintosh bitmap fonts were (and are?) beautiful. A couple of days ago I was amazed at how clear and legible Monaco 9 (bitmap or non-antialiased) is on a 32" 4K monitor.

Regarding Chicago, I keep seeing its TrueType imitation (which isn't as beautiful as the bitmap version, but is distinctive) everywhere.
