Author's note

Pixcel Phat by TracerTong is a free techno display font with the blunt weight and simplified geometry of early arcade graphics. Broad, tightly drawn letters use rounded outer corners, squared openings, and abrupt gaps that make the alphabet look like custom electronic symbols.

As an electronic title treatment, it can turn game graphics and music posters into something close to a vintage control-panel readout. The same dense silhouette suits streetwear merchandise and club event branding, especially when the lettering needs to behave like a logo rather than ordinary text. Its clearest role is giving a game title its own machine-made world.

- Slight cosmetic changes were made to Pixcel.
- Phat was added, and the correct Dotmatrix font was uploaded to replace the original Phat font.
