Member bra… Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 The captions in this image appear to be rendered in a bitmap font on a crt monitor from May 20, 1990. It’s from the Hubble timeline website to be found at https://hubblesite.org/contents/media/images/1990/04/1-Image.html?news=true Can anyone please identify the original font? Also looking for a digital version. Commercial fonts are fine. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Most likely a custom font built in the machine they were using. There are plenty of recreations or original designs that mimic that pixel/bitmap/terminal/raster look, but possibly none that would be an exact match (examples: [1]; [2]; [3] here you can also make your own). A similar one, but constructed on a smaller grid, could be Pixel Tandysoft (low bar on |G|, seriffed |B|D|, but wrong |O|). Link to comment
