DeDisplay
A raster typeface built from triangular sub-units grouped into squares, directly inspired by the mechanical destination displays found on trams and public transport.
About
DeDisplay replicates the appearance of transit information boards that use a grid of squares each subdivided diagonally into four triangles, allowing diagonal strokes and curves to read more legibly than a plain square-pixel grid allows. It comes in three variants: DeDisplay 1 retains gaps between the triangles for an open, lighter appearance; DeDisplay 2 removes those gaps for a darker, bolder effect; and DeDisplay 3 eliminates even the spacing between squares, producing the heaviest, most solid version.
Classification
A dot-matrix display typeface constructed from triangular sub-units grouped into squares, mimicking the appearance of mechanical transit information boards. Its grid-based construction places it firmly in the display/pixel category.
