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 presents typefaces on a dynamic and decorative grid, taking reference from high-end type specimens while adding a suitably playful twist. \u003cem\u003eArcade Game Typography\u003c\/em\u003e recreates that visual aesthetic, fizzing with life and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing pixel typefaces carefully selected from the first decades of arcade video games, \u003cem\u003eArcade Game Typography\u003c\/em\u003e presents a completist survey of a previously undocumented outsider typography movement, accompanied by insightful commentary from author Toshi Omagari, a Monotype typeface designer himself.
