pixel font

Retro screen lettering

A pixel font is a typeface designed on a grid where each character is built from individual square units rather than smooth curves.

Common in early computing when screen resolution was limited, pixel fonts remain popular in retro video games, digital art, and designs evoking 8-bit aesthetics: The game uses a chunky pixel font for that nostalgic arcade feel.
