Author's note

Shadow by Patrick Gregory of FSI FontShop International GmbH is a free pixel font built from hard-edged blocks and stepped right angles. Its letters resemble compact maze diagrams.

A retro game title screen is its most convincing setting, since the broken strokes and offset square details echo low-resolution interface graphics. The same digital construction suits arcade posters, electronic music artwork, and technology merchandise with an intentionally rough, early-computer look. Those recurring block projections can double as circuit paths or screen fragments, tying the lettering directly to game and machine imagery.
