Yet another dot matrix typeface for a printer that never existed...

So much better than the brogg standard font style dot matrix printers put on paper in the 80s :D I would have produced inspired texts had the print-outs been this pleasant to read.

Funny! (even in all caps.) Interesting shape (and loose rule of design). I, too, wish the related vintage printers (e.g. at eBay) were able to break their physical rules…^^

@Aeolien & @dpla - Thank you for the kind words!  I haven't been active here lately, so to challenge myself, I used that "odd" shape as the design's starting point.  And this font adheres to the limitations of a true 9-pin printer.  ;^)

Ah? So you know a lot about the H/W limitations of these old devices! (I supposed all the dots were not accessible at the same time, like graphical [ink-jet] printers where the head might move much more, i.e. a lot slower…) Anyway, the more I see "Dotty Matrix", the more I fell comfortable with it. We are in the 1980s, forever!
