A uniwidth dot matrix family in 23 styles, drawn from Dutch merklap embroidery and structured around three terminal shapes: Circle, Square and Squircle.
About
Built on a strict 7-unit cap height grid, the family avoids overlapping strokes to stay true to its embroidery reference, with steep diagonal angles producing a rhythmic texture across all weights. Three subfamilies spanning Thin to Black (Circle extending to Black) are supported by a variable font and a generous feature set including swashes, oldstyle numerals, compact and circular alternates, ligatures and localisation. Wide Latin Extended coverage runs to over 100 languages.
Classification
A uniwidth dot matrix family built on a 7-unit cap height grid, organised into three terminal-shape subfamilies (Circle, Square, Squircle). Its pixel-grid construction and embroidery origins place it firmly in display rather than general-purpose sans territory.
