Arcade Game Typography: The Art of Pixel Type - Toshi Omigari

Arcade Game Typography: The Art of Pixel Type - Toshi Omigari (272 pages, English, softcover, published by Thames & Hudson)

'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 colour and resolution limitations that stimulated incredible creativity: with letters having to exist in an 8x8 square grid, artists found ways to create expressive and elegant character sets within a tiny canvas.

'The first book of its kind … it gives an all-encompassing and incredibly well-researched insight into an undocumented movement characterised by “outsider typographers”' - Mr Porter
