Author's note

WLM Boring Old Teletext UC by Wolf Lambert is a free teletext-inspired pixel font with broad, upright capitals and the blunt authority of an early broadcast screen. Its spacing feels mechanical and even, but the letters contain abrupt cut-ins and oddly abbreviated curves. The exaggerated width gives the line a firm, almost architectural silhouette.

Retro-computing audiences will recognize it in game interfaces and posters. For magazine features and music packaging, the lettering can act as a direct reference to vintage information services and public television graphics.
