fonts-bedstead

monospaced fonts inspired by SAA5050 character generator

Description

Bedstead is a family of angular monospaced fonts based on the characters produced by the Mullard SAA5050 series of Teletext Character Generators as used in the BBC Microcomputer. The SAA5050 fonts were bitmaps, but Bedstead extends its smoothing algorithm to continuity, producing something suitable for modern high-resolution displays.

Bedstead includes all the character designs from the SAA5050 and its various sister chips, including Cyrillic and Hebrew alphabets. It also has a large number of custom-designed glyphs, all of them of following the same design rules as the originals.

This package contains the OpenType font files for Bedstead in two weights (medium and bold) and six widths (ultra condensed, extra condensed, condensed, semi condensed, normal, and extended).
