Cinema

I drew this font sometime around 2006 for BASIN, initially named Cinemax before discovering it was a trademark. So here it is back again with a much more generic name.

Inspired by the 1920s art-deco movement, it takes a common modern approach to the curves and lines to better adapt to the constraints of 8x8.

This style of typeface has always been quite popular in 8-bit games and can be seen in many text adventures. The mix of bold and non-bold stems allows for space to play with while also packing in style.
