In today's age of ubiquitous "Retina" screens, it seems we're no longer in need of pixel fonts. However, in the realm of embedded electronic development, low-resolution displays are still widely used. Designing fonts for low-resolution screens is precisely the challenge, where developers and designers must often make difficult compromises between style and readability when developing interactive interfaces. Bixel 16 was born to solve such problems: a typeface specifically designed for small, low-resolution screens.
Bixel 16 is based on a height of 16 pixels, where the designer precisely delineates glyph structures in a minimal pixel grid, blending modern technological design language while maintaining clarity and readability. Bixel 16 supports all uppercase English letters, Arabic numerals, as well as common punctuation marks and unit displays. Its proportional width design makes it easier to align in typesetting, granting new possibilities for embedded user interfaces, industrial equipment, human-machine interaction interfaces, and other scenarios that require stable visual order.
Bixel 16 can maintain clear, sharp, and modern well-ordered display effects on screens of different resolutions, supporting point-to-point pixel alignment in common sizes like 16px, 32px, 48px, and 64px, among other multiples of 16.
To support innovation, we offer a degree of licensing fee reduction for individuals and small teams. For font licensing or more information, feel free to contact Besign for consultation.
