Source of inspiration: Typography

So this week’s source of information will be on typography. So as stated in a previous post, video games are one of my favorite things in the world. So with that being said my favorite font is Called 8 bit wonder. 8 bit wonder is aesthetically pleasing to look at, at least to my eyes. I grew up playing my mother’s old NES (Nintendo entertainment system) so I’ve played the original Mario as well as Zelda and a bunch of other old 8 bit games, because of this I’ve always loved looking at 8 bit textures, graphics or lettering. Now I don’t use this font in my blog because I feel a more traditional standard looking font is a little easier to read and doesn’t take up as much space, plus there are no lower case letters, also this font isn’t available on normal word processors so you would have to download it from a website to get it. Looking at this font really reminds me of those days as a kid trying to figure out super Mario and getting just a little bit further each time I would play before dying to something like a piranha plant or a hammer bro (those were the scariest enemies as a kid I swear haha). But that’s what font inspires me, it very closely ties into one of my other sources of inspiration which is video games.
