Author's note

Invanders from Space by Xero Harrison is a free alien pixel dingbat font based on the blunt, low-resolution graphics of early arcade games. Squat figures have stepped edges, square eyes, and geometric bodies.

Classic science-fiction imagery makes it a natural fit for retro game graphics, arcade event posters, themed packaging, and children's activity materials. It is especially convincing in game branding, where the pictograms can become enemies, interface icons, and title elements within a single coherent, deliberately crude electronic world.

--

Updated metrics and kerning, with additional invaders from the Intellivision version of the game.
