Fascinating! I liked the main article since it acts as a reminder that we have to make accommodations for the imperfection of our technology (which I consider to be an interesting perspective given the digital age of pixel perfection). Yet I think your linked process emphasizes that idea even better, since pre-emphasis seems more consistently relevant, while letterform adaptations for printing are becoming less important the more digital we get.

Similar things are done in ceramics as well as casting to account for material changes during firing or glazing. Projection through a linear or non-linear transform to arrive at a desired outcome. Anytime you have feedback this solution will arise.
