Author's note

ProtoSans11 by Roman Gornitsky is a free pixel font built from stark right angles and squared open forms. Its even strokes and rectangular interiors recall early low-resolution screens, but the broad proportions keep the lettering calm.

Designers working with retro technology and game culture will find it suited to interface graphics, arcade posters, and electronic music artwork. The clean geometry also fits experimental branding. Repeated box shapes echo pixel icons and grid-based illustrations, extending the digital theme.
