Author's note

Pixel Cyr, created by Swamp Design and Dubina Nikolay, is a free pixel font built from stark, square-edged modules. Its letters are upright, angular, and deliberately spare.

Game designers and developers of retro digital projects will find its grid-based construction especially apt for menus, title screens, and promotional graphics. The same hard geometry can give electronic music artwork and technology-themed posters the look of an early computer display. It is most convincing in game interfaces, where the lettering can become part of the pixel artwork itself.
