300 dpi is actually very low compared to printing. The typeface I talked about, Carter's Charter was designed because in the 80s printers' resolution was so low, usual typefaces weren't performing as well as they should. And that low resolution was 300 dpi.
Computer screens have even lower resolutions, but they fix it with font rasterization. That is things like hinting.
And you can compare with eink screen dumbs somehow (don't forget that it is not perfect, just useful when used along with a photo) because it is a picture taken by the reader. Reader renders the font, and takes an image. No font rendering is done on the computer.
A good designed for 300 dpi would of course work, but it would still need some small adjustments, like the weight problem.
