Author's note

Terminal Grotesque by Raphaël Bastide is a free pixel font with tall proportions and a stark terminal-era look. Its letters alternate between narrow strokes and broad open forms.

Arcade title screens are a natural fit for its crisp mechanical silhouette. The same direct character suits technology posters, electronic music packaging, and game graphics. Across editorial covers and event signage, these uses share a deliberately raw early-computer vocabulary that feels functional rather than nostalgic.
