I'm trying to find fonts that look good and readable when scaled down and was curious - which ones do you use?

I've used a variety and still haven't found one I'm 100% convinced by.
I like the readability of Arial Rounded Bold for instance, but I feel it doesn't have enough of its own personality.
 
You seen DIN Condensed? Classic.

Also Quicksand for that "I'm a modern teenage blogger" look,
Monsterrat can be great especially for bold one word titles.
Allan. Allan.
Permanent Marker can be great for a sketchy look.
Any classic New Times Roman styled serif font. Any obscure one will do just pick to taste.
Haettenschweiler for another great condensed style, with a bit more character
^ I'm grouping Jockey One with this
Abel seems to work for technology and computer info videos for some reason.
^ Same with Advent Pro
Amatic SC Bold for yet another "I'm a teenage vlogger and I make Makeup videos" look
Bangers, for that classic I'm a funny minecraft lets player
Lobster for anything that can have a jolly/fancy theme to it
Averia Sans Libre Light is actually pretty soft on eyes but bold.
^ Also Chewy, Chau Pilomene One, MAW, Natural Log, and Righteous
Hang on let me get all the "normal styles fonts that work for titles:
- Basic
- Benchninelight
- Cabin Condensed
- Economica
- Nexa Bold
- DIN
moving on, Dorsa for artsy one word titles. Feels like late 2000's fashion advert
Monoton is GREAT but only for short titles
Ridge is another modern fancy one but can be a bit hard to read
Semetary has it's characters touching so very condensed overall while the actual characters aren't
VAL is a tad hard to read but looks fancy and weird in a good modern way. Soft font
