Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Broken Pixels.
An architectural geometric pixel display set in bone cream over a warm gradient: mixed-case letters pair tall crisp verticals with square-stepped bowls, and ligatures are included, so the word reads as a designed system rather than as a retro game title. The verticals are what give it the architectural feel, and the pixel steps are kept to the bowls rather than applied across every stroke. Ligatures are the detail that rewards setting it in mixed case. The gradient behind is staging. Uses are conference identities, creative-coding zines, record sleeves and tech branding where precision is the message.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Broken Pixels’s stroke geometry.
Identity for a design conference
An architectural pixel face reads as a system rather than a costume, so a conference identity carries a technical idea without the arcade nostalgia that a pure pixel font would bring, and the ligatures give the wordmark a detail worth looking at twice.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the wordmark at 60 mm cap height across 180 mm, the dates in a 10 pt sans, and the venue at 8 pt. Print two colours on a matte stock, keep 22 mm margins, and keep the pixel steps above 0.6 mm.
Pre-production check
Check the wordmark at 60 mm, where a stepped bowl can read as a printing fault; keep the steps regular. Confirm the 8 pt venue survives on the stock and that the ligature still reads at badge size.
Swag for a creative-tech studio
A pixel system suits a studio that works with software, and the ligatures make the name look designed rather than typed, which is what a tee or a tote has to prove in a room full of similar studios.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 250 mm chest graphic: the name at 45 mm cap height, the year at 16 mm, and two inks on a dark shirt. Keep the smallest pixel step at 2 mm and place the graphic 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Check the screen at actual mesh, where a 2 mm step can fill; keep it above 3 mm. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the steps stay square rather than rounding after five cycles.
Poster for a coding workshop
A geometric pixel face names a workshop in the visual language of computation, and the crisp verticals hold on a poster read from a corridor where a rounded tech sans would look like every other class notice.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A2 poster: the workshop at 100 mm cap height, the details in a 20 mm sans, and the venue at 11 mm. Keep 28 mm margins, print two colours on a light stock, and keep the pixel steps above 3 mm.
Pre-production check
Check the poster at five metres, where a step can vanish into an even stroke; keep it above 3 mm. Confirm the 11 mm venue reads at two metres and that the dates clear the title block.
