In this new installment of the fonts of the week we bring you three fonts with computer or technology style. Sometimes we must complete a job with a type of font that reminds us of a computer, and although computers currently use fonts of all kinds, the square fonts that machines used in the 80s and earlier are very useful to achieve that desired effect. I have recently used some of these fonts for one of my works where I wanted a document to look old, made by computer, accompanying this writing with a letterhead very much in the style of the needle printers of the time you can achieve very successful effects.
We are going to review the three computer style fonts that we propose this week:
256 Bytes. This typeface is characterized by its rectangular shape and the particular detail that one of its strokes is always much thicker. So we get an original and striking effect making each letter different. The look offered by the typography is very retro even to be computer-style, for that reason we wanted to include it in this compilation, so you will have more variety. It should be noted that the lowercase and uppercase versions are very similar and only change in size, preserving their design in both.

Circuit Bored. This typeface is very original and turns the letters into circuits, it is not easy to read so we recommend it exclusively for titles and short texts, The difference between uppercase and lowercase is that the latter only have a motif, or electronic components, represented with a circle while the first ones have two elements of this type.

Bitwise. This is possibly The typeface that we like the most, since it is not very square but offers trapezoidal components in many of the letters and wider strokes than the rest, but in a rather subtle way. Note that the designs for upper and lower case are different, so we can use it in long texts without problem.
