BITBLOX MONO IS DESIGNED BY JAMES BEALL AND PSY/OPS TYPE FOUNDRY
We created this monospace font for our Bitblox alphabet blocks. They were inspired by the low-res pixel lettering seen on the computer screens and in video games of yore. The fonts are guaranteed to induce flashbacks in anyone who’s been exposed to consoles / terminals / IBM / DOS / AS/400 graphics in the olden days.
Each Bitblox character is built on a grid of pixels known as a matrix. The matrix creates constraint, but that very constraint yields interesting and evocative forms.
Bitblox Mono font contains 246 glyphs, with Western and Eastern European characters, Mathematical symbols, and more.
The Bitblox Mono font is available for free with a Personal License. Other options are available.

MORE INFORMATION
The Bitblox Mono font is part of a larger typeface called Bitblox. The whole system is based on low-res pixel lettering, and is especially great for nostalgia themed design. Besides the monospaced font there is also a proportional font, a bold version, a blocked style, an easy outline variant, a whole host of dingbats, and two stackable fonts that make using multiple colors easy.
