MegaMegaTypeType
A single-weight pixel display face drawn from the letterforms of various bitmap screen fonts, designed at ParaType in 1995.
About
Designed by Alexander Tarbeev in 1995, FixSys takes its letterforms directly from existing screen fonts, translating their grid-based construction into a display typeface intended for advertising use. The specimen shows chunky, square-pixel characters that retain the blocky texture of early digital type.
Classification
The specimen shows letterforms constructed from a grid of square pixels, directly referencing the bitmap screen fonts it draws upon. This places it firmly in the pixel/display category rather than any conventional text type tradition.
