Two axes

Every glyph is drawn on a pixel grid, and each pixel is a shape the axes control:

  • Weight (wght, 100–900) fattens every pixel, from hairline dots to pixels that merge into solid strokes.
  • Roundness (ROND, 0–100) morphs every pixel from a crisp square at 0 to a round dot at 100.

CSS

Set weight with font-weight and roundness with font-variation-settings:

.scoreboard {
  font-family: "Bloxwap Pixel", "Bloxwap Mono", monospace;
  font-weight: 700;
  font-variation-settings: "ROND" 60;
}

Every Pixel glyph sits on the same 600-unit cell at every weight and roundness, so both axes animate without moving neighboring text:

.ticker-cell {
  font-family: "Bloxwap Pixel", monospace;
  font-weight: 400;
  font-variation-settings: "ROND" 0;
  transition: font-weight 300ms ease, font-variation-settings 300ms ease;
}
.ticker-cell.is-up {
  font-weight: 800;
  font-variation-settings: "ROND" 100;
}
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
  .ticker-cell { transition: none; }
}

Where to use it

Pixel is a display face. Use it at 20 px and above for scoreboards, price tickers, countdowns, achievements, loading screens and other game-like moments, and pair it with Bloxwap Sans or Mono for body text.

It covers Latin, Greek and Cyrillic, box drawing and block elements, and has true italics. See its full list on Language support.
