Ki
Mint Type · Andriy Konstantynov · 2020
A monospaced typeface drawn from VCR and camcorder on-screen display fonts, with all diagonals constrained to 45 degrees across seven weights and matching italics.
About
Ki takes its cues from the bitmap-era OSD fonts found on VCR and camcorder interfaces, translating their grid-locked geometry into a scalable typeface. The strict 45-degree diagonal constraint produces a distinctive texture that remains legible at small sizes. Seven weights with corresponding italics and over 500 glyphs cover Latin and Cyrillic scripts.
Classification
A monospaced typeface with a strictly geometric construction, restricting diagonal angles to 45 degrees in the manner of pixel and OSD display fonts. The fixed-width spacing and grid-constrained geometry place it firmly in the mono category with display characteristics.
