BRANDSWOT MODULAR

BRANDSWOT Modular

A pixel display typeface built from brickwork. Every pixel of the 5 × 7 grid holds three courses of running-bond masonry, so the letters read as built, not drawn. Free for everyone, including commercial work.

Seven weights, one wall

Every weight shares identical spacing, so headlines can animate from Light to Black without reflowing.
