Samson Bold Font
Samson family consisting of 6 fonts
Author's note
Samson Bold by Meir Sadan, is a free bitmap display font with a stark early-screen feel. The letters are built from heavy rectangular blocks and narrow gaps, giving the caps a severe, modular rhythm that feels closer to old terminals and game menus than to softened retro pixel revivals.
It fits poster titles, zine covers, music flyers, title cards, and interface-inspired branding where a free font can carry a blunt digital mood without extra effects. Because the shapes are so reduced and upright, it also works well for short headlines and monograms that need to look hard-edged, coded, and a little austere.

Description
This is actually the English version of a Hebrew font that's gonna be released in my upcoming hebrew site, oketz.com. I really like it, it's all buff 'n' stuff.
Samson's that big, strong guy from the bible. There's a story there about how he beat an entire army with a donkey's cheek. In my opinion, they've gone a little kooky at that point, but who am I to say something.
