"On screen" vs. "Print" (Blur font)

sefosete

Dear all.

I was wondering why some fonts work well on the paper and on the screen and some only on the paper?

Are they re-designed for the screen?

Concretely I compared Blur font printed and on screen.

The one on paper looked very good while on the screen looked good only at higher sizes.
