Project description

[qix mono] is an aesthetically pleasing as well as legible synthesis of pixel-art style and accessibility. Inspired by monospace bitmap typefaces from the arcade game era, [qix mono] was created to suit newly emerging retro-style video games today. Studies of dyslexic-friendly fonts and the judgement of people with dyslexia shaped [qix mono] into a legible typeface with distinctive features.
