Tiny5

Designed by Stefan Schmidt

About

tiny5 is a variable-width, 5-pixel font playing with the concept of least amount of information while producing both legible and aesthetically pleasing text.

It is inspired by the graphing calculators and digital gadgets of the 1980s-90s, where the constraints of limited pixel space demanded efficient and minimalist design. It can be used for invoking a retro or nostalgic feel, for conveying the idea of minimalism, or for efficiently presenting information on small displays.

tiny5 supports the Google Fonts Latin Kernel, Latin Core, Latin Plus, Latin African, Greek Core, Cyrillic Core and Cyrillic Plus character set.
