HOW DID YOU GET THE FONT THAT CRISP

Not the creator, but: there's no way to make a font more sharp for everyone, although you can pick a specific size that makes it look crisp on standard screen

The MS Gothic font family is technically a bitmap font. It was made back when Ricoh still made dot-matrix printers in the Japanese market, so obviously they needed to use a dot-matrix font. Microsoft then got the rights to use in in older Windows versions (Older Windows versions relied on bitmap fonts) for Japanese text and it was left over throughout the generations on the OS because ppl wouldn't stop using it.

tl;dr: It's an old font that has "pixelart" images of each letter for every size because old computers needed it to be that way, and it just happened to survive through the migration to smooth fonts.

This site lists a couple more bitmap fonts and the CSS for them!! https://www.tohoho-web.com/css/prop/font-family.htm (Almost all bitmap fonts still used today are Japanese for some reason)
