The less space is available, the more creative possible actors become. The more limited the framework conditions are, the more interesting the results will be. Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why 8-bit machines still exude so much fascination today.

Fonts are a very special topic at this point, because it was precisely here, that an extreme amount of creativity was required, when letters and numbers had to be displayed with only a few pixels in width and height, and also mono-chromatically. All the more astonishing is, how many variations of fonts the 8-bit community has produced over the last few decades.

A whole collection of ATARI fonts has been thoughtfully compiled by Steve Boswell.

The special thing about it: Not only does Steve provide PNG shots of the respective fonts, but he also compiled each font as a TrueType file in his GitHub repo for you to use.

Not only for friends of fine (but not so fine grained) typography.
