Samson Oblique Font
Samson family consisting of 6 fonts
Author's note
Samson Oblique, by Meir Sadan, is a free bitmap caps font with a fast, game-era slant. The letters are built from chunky pixel steps and cut on a sharp diagonal, so the alphabet feels like motion frozen into square blocks rather than softened into a typical italic.
It works well anywhere a hard-edged digital voice helps set the tone: arcade posters, techno flyers, screen-style logos, title cards, and short cover lines. As a free font, Samson Oblique is especially convincing for brief all-caps settings and monograms, where the tilted pixel rhythm keeps even a few letters looking active and compact.

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.
