Author's note

Pixeldust Bold by Andreas Nylin is a free bitmap caps font with a blunt, blocky alphabet cut from square pixels. The letters feel early-screen and game-era rather than slick tech, with chunky corners, stepped curves, and big solid shapes that give the caps a stubborn, low-resolution presence.

That makes it a natural fit for arcade-inspired posters, zine covers, album art, title cards, and short logo work where the pixel grid should stay visible. As a free font, it also suits badges, stream graphics, and compact headlines that benefit from those thick, tiled forms and the slightly rough digital nostalgia they bring.
