About the family


Baud Rate is a retro pixel font family created as a love letter to classic Atari-era games, CRT screens, and old-school computer graphics. Built from carefully referenced vintage sources, it captures that unmistakable blocky, low-resolution charm while remaining practical for modern design work. The family includes Regular and Bold styles, plus Reversed and Reversed Bold versions that mimic the iconic “highlighted text” look seen in classic menus, inventories, dialog boxes, and interface prompts. Unlike many nostalgic bitmap fonts, Baud Rate includes an expanded character set with international accents and extra symbols to support contemporary projects. To preserve the authentic pixel height and keep the cap line consistent, accented uppercase letters are intelligently handled by converting to small caps where needed, maintaining the period-correct look without awkward vertical distortion. Baud Rate is ideal for retro game branding, pixel art projects, UI overlays, streamer graphics, indie game menus, sci-fi interfaces, tech posters, glitch aesthetics, nostalgic packaging, and any design that wants true 8-bit energy with modern language support. Whether you’re building a full retro interface system or just want punchy pixel headlines, Baud Rate delivers clean, authentic bitmap attitude in a complete four-style set.

About Fontasmic

Fontasmic is a type foundry born from a deep affection for the tactile soul of wood type, the spontaneous beauty of ephemeral design, and the charm of typography that refuses to follow the rules. Each Fontasmic creation celebrates the unpredictable—where classic craftsmanship meets a restless curiosity for the offbeat and the obscure. Drawing inspiration from vintage posters, forgotten sign painting traditions, and the imperfect textures of print history, Fontasmic channels the spirit of typographic exploration into every curve and counter. With a collection that thrives on character and quirk, the foundry embraces both the wild and the refined—fonts that carry stories, personalities, and a hint of rebellion. Whether bold and brash or subtle and strange, Fontasmic typefaces are made for designers who seek more than letters on a page—they seek emotion, history, and the spark of the unexpected.
