DGM Composta specimen from Giulia Boggio

A nine-weight dot matrix typeface on a fixed 7×11 grid, with dot size driving the weight variation.

About

DGM Composta places static dots of growing size on a 7×11 grid, following classic dot matrix precedents. The nine-weight range produces noticeably different textures, from a barely-there cluster of small points in Thin to a dense filled-in mass in Black. A companion Stitch variant uses connected strokes rather than discrete dots.

Classification

A modular dot matrix typeface built on a 7×11 grid, using static dots of growing size to generate nine weights. The underlying grid is fixed; weight contrast comes from dot size rather than stroke variation. 357 glyphs covering 48+ Latin-based languages.
