Designed by Óliver Lalan
Doto is a bit-map inspired, open-source, variable, monospace and geometric typeface family, designed for display purposes.
Each glyph is built using a 6x10 reference matrix, and the typeface supports two variable axes: one controlling the size of the dots and another controlling the roundness of the dots.

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
