Author's note

Cairopixel by GGBotNet is a free bitmap pixel font with a chunky, block-built rhythm that feels pulled from early screen graphics. The letters use square corners, stepped curves, and abrupt joins, so the whole font reads with a dry, game-era snap rather than a softened retro look.

It fits naturally in arcade-inspired branding, game menus, poster titles, streamer overlays, zine covers, and short interface labels where that crisp grid is part of the voice. As a free font, it works best in brief display settings, especially title cards and compact headlines, because the rigid pixel shapes give even simple words a coded, low-resolution character.
