What would you consider as the most recognizable bitmap fonts in tech history?
I’m imagining stuff like:
- the arcade/Atari font
- Chicago (Mac, then iPod)
- VCR/video equipment fonts
- Minecraft font
- IBM PC fonts (MDA, VGA, stuff like that)
- perhaps System font from Windows 3.x
- Commodore 64, just because of the sheer popularity of the machine
What am I missing?
