Arcade Game Typography: The Art of Pixel Type
Arcade Game Typography presents readers with a fascinating new world of typography: the pixel typeface. Video game designers of the '70s, '80s, and '90s faced color and resolution limitations that stimulated incredible creativity. With each letter having to exist in a small pixel grid, artists began to use clever techniques to create elegant character sets within a tiny canvas. This book features typefaces on a dynamic and decorative grid, taking reference from high-end type specimens while adding a suitably playful twist.
