Author's note

LED S&S font by Matthew Welch is a free digital display font with a segmented LED-style structure. Its forms are made from straight bars and clipped corners, with repeated horizontal breaks that give each character a screen-like, seven-segment rhythm.

LED S&S is a free font that works well for arcade graphics, scoreboard titles, retro tech posters, event flyers, and interface accents where a digital readout shape feels appropriate. The repeated segmented construction also makes it useful for labels, neon-style signage, countdowns, and sci-fi themed layouts that need a sharp electronic reference.

Description
Unlike most LED/LCD style fonts mine could be recreated with an
actual LED. I created this font working from memories of the good
old Speak and Spell display. Since I don't have an actual Speak
and Spell to work from I had to just do as well as I could in its
spirit. Be warned that some characters look just like others. The
( and the <, for instance. Also C and [. Most of these will be
pretty clear in context. To see all the sections of the LED "lit
up" at once use character 127 (hold down alt and type 0127 on the
numeric keypad). This font is, of course, monospaced.
