Author's note

Pixeldust Expanded Bold by Andreas Nylin is a free bitmap font with a chunky arcade-era attitude. The letters are built from hard square steps and broad blocky shapes, giving the font a dusty low-resolution rhythm that feels closer to old game screens and early computer graphics than to smooth modern display lettering.

It fits naturally in retro game branding, poster headlines, zine covers, title cards, and short logo work where that coarse digital texture does the talking. As a free font, it also suits badges, stream graphics, and compact monograms, especially when you want the caps to feel blunt, playful, and deliberately screen-born.
