Ticker

Craig Eliason

Ticker is now available from Teeline Fonts.

It's a pixel font, guided by these ideas:

• Lo Res and Hi Res options 
• Three weights are achieved simply by enlarging or reducing the pixels.
• Strict modularity in letter shapes, but glyphs aren't monowidth, and sidebearings/kerning aren't restrained to the grid. So the compromises required of the forms are minimized, but it still evokes simpler technological displays
• This is particularly novel: while the upright is built on a rectilinear grid, the italic is built on a hexagonal grid.
• In addition to the circular dots of the standard fonts, there are also "tile" cuts which have square or hexagonal elements instead.
