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.
