Hello, as the subject implies, I'm hoping to get some ideas for a clear, bold face for use on a PDA application I'm cooking up.

The ideal font would be fairly narrow, generously tall, and of ample weight. I'm looking for something that fits a lot of characters on a short line but can be read clearly from an arm's length.

Here is a screenshot of the leading contender - 'Standard,' one of the minml fonts. You can see the environmental contraints of the application from that shot pretty well.

Any ideas? Thank you.

I think that size is too small to do anything interesting (while remaining readable), so standard whatever is probably your best bet.
