8/16 Bit Video Game Typography

OK, so you may say this isn't exactly a post dedicated to hand drawn type – but I disagree. To craft type like this on a blocky grid with limited colour palettes requires real tenacity and understanding of the rules. Here's a site that honours the typographers who bravely went where none before had been, they discarded their rotary pens and letterset and took up the challenge to create type for arcade games! Most of them appear as animated gifs too!
