Meet Matriks 3, a small monospaced type family specially developed for day-to-day use on screen. Meticulously build on a 5×7 matrix: five pixels for x-height, plus one pixel for capitals and ascenders, and another pixel for descenders.
By just moving one pixel at a time, the Matriks fonts (Dunglish for ‘matrix’), took shape. It is astonishing to see how far one can push the contours of the glyphs to sometimes weird graphics but still make us think we’re reading Roman characters! Special attention has been given to the bold weight. In fact, contrast in letterforms increases readability.
With more than 200 glyphs both weights contain a full Google Fonts Basic character set.
Now add this vintage typographic look to your font collection and get your copies for just 5.00 EUR per font. Just send me a DM: DesignIsFijn@iCloud.com or use this form.

Every now and then I receive questions about the ASCII-emoticon in my mail signature. Well, it represents the ‘shaka sign’. A popular gesture among surfers which says: “Hang loose”, something like: “Enjoy life, and take it easy”.
By coincidence this ‘m’, surrounded by slashes, is the initial of my first name. \m/ Hang loose!
