Rose-Tinted | A Pixel Type Family

Rose-Tinted is a pixel-based type family.

It’s inspired by retro games such as Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, which approached pixel typography with the appearance of italics to add personality.

While many designers have experimented with pixel type over the years, there’s a unique challenge that comes with developing a type language that also accounts for bold, italic, and bold italic variants while respecting the limitations of the grid system.

The typeface contains 4 variants (Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic), and includes approx. 216 glyphs per variant (as of September 9th, 2024), including: -Uppercase letters -Lowercase letters -Numerals -Ligatures (Standard and Discretionary) -Symbols (Punctuation, Formulas, etc.) -Accent Marks (Uppercase and Lowercase)

The download includes the Rose-Tinted typeface as OTF (Open Type Font) files, and as TTF (True Type Font) files.
