Palma BETA specimen from Charlotte Rohde

A display typeface drawn from the LED dot-matrix bus destination signs found in Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona.

About

Two styles make up the family: an Initial variant and a Regular, both faithfully translating the chunky pixel grid of public-transport LED displays into usable type. Glyph coverage spans Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement and a selection of Latin Extended characters, accommodating Spanish and related Western European languages. Trial fonts are available for download directly from the foundry.

Classification

Directly modelled on the LED dot-matrix displays found on buses in Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona, placing it firmly in the display category as a pixel or bitmap-derived typeface.
