Prior to the development of modern vector typefaces, digital imagery and typography relied on bitmap construction. This project explores that foundational approach by utilizing a strict grid system composed solely of vertical and horizontal units. The design draws inspiration from the bold, structural qualities from both Gothic-style and Slab serif typefaces, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.
