WaveBit

A display typeface built on a pixel grid, then sanded down at the edges.

WaveBit keeps the stepped construction of bitmap type — every diagonal and curve resolved as a staircase of square modules — but rounds each corner of every step. The result reads as pixel type without the harshness: still obviously built from a grid, but softer underfoot, closer to a rubber game-cabinet button than a raw CRT pixel.

Letterforms are wide, monolinear, and closed-up, with a consistent stroke weight throughout. Uppercase only. Numerals share the caps' width and weight. Best used large — headlines, logotypes, badges, anything that wants a retro-digital feel without tipping into pure 8-bit pastiche.
