Über die Familie


Cubisquare AOE is a revival of early modular display lettering originally produced as LetterGraphics film type under the name Times Square, designed by Alfred Guerra. The Astigmatic One Eye Typographic Institute preserves this specimen as a representative artifact from the transitional moment when typography began migrating from mechanical production to digital display systems. Each glyph is constructed from a precise grid of square modules, creating a disciplined bitmap structure reminiscent of teleprinters, laboratory terminals, and early cathode display screens. The design reveals the underlying grid with deliberate clarity, celebrating the geometry that defined early computational typography. This modular construction reflects the technological realities of the era: memory limitations, pixel economies, and the engineering logic that shaped the earliest digital alphabets. Every character shares a consistent unit system, producing a rhythm of repeated squares that feels both mathematical and architectural. Today Cubisquare AOE reads as both technological artifact and design statement. Its crisp grid construction evokes control panels, retro computing, digital readouts, and experimental film lettering from the dawn of electronic typography. The font performs especially well in retro technology themes, digital nostalgia projects, sci-fi interfaces, data visualization, poster design, gaming graphics, and layouts referencing early computing culture.

Über Astigmatic

In 1873, the strange and fantastic story began. Nearly two centuries later, Brian J. Bonislawsky was born, and carrying on a mix of the the footsteps his ancestors before him took, he picked up the the traditions and founded the Astigmatic One Eye Foundry, which later expanded to become the Astigmatic One Eye Typographic Institute. (For more of the background story, see the Historical Perspective link below.) Since its founding Astigmatic has worked with dozens of designers, helping them forge their own foundries as well as helping to increase the quality of type created by Astigmatic and these other foundries. Astigmatic strives to continually increase its range of typographic scope; taking on expeditions to revive old typestyles, unearth long lost typefaces, forge new styles yet unseen, and begin to develop more comprehensive language typestyles of the WGL4 set size which includes Greek and Cyrillic extensions. If you are looking for a wide variety of typographic influence and style, the Astigmatic One Eye Institute is your source for type.
