Metamor Bit specimen from Masahiro Naruse

A bitmap-style variable font designed specifically to expand CJK typographic expression, with open editing capabilities via a bundled Glyphs source file.

About

Built on a pixel grid aesthetic informed by Postmodernism and Memphis design, Metamor Bit addresses the scarcity of variable font options for Chinese, Japanese and Korean typography. The purchase includes an editable Glyphs 3 source file with nine swappable texture materials, allowing buyers to generate and distribute their own custom variants within the licence terms. The character set continues to expand, with refinements ongoing across all three writing systems.

Classification

A bitmap-style variable font drawing on pixel grid aesthetics and Postmodernist/Memphis design influence. Its display character is defined by the bitmap grid structure rather than calligraphic or geometric sans-serif conventions.
