Rasterlume — Letters that glow and won't sit still.
Real type rendering live — not a picture. Type your own words below.
Rasterlume is a pixel letter with a glow that won't quite let go. Every letter sits on a 13-row grid, and off its right edge runs a fade of fine vertical hairlines that get thinner and farther apart as they drift away. Set it big and you see the lines. Set it smaller and they soften into a glow.
The family comes in five styles. No Blur is the clean letter. Blur adds the hairline bleed, and Strong Blur pushes it heavier and farther. The two layer fonts, Blur Layer and Strong Blur Layer, hold only the glow and share exact spacing with No Blur, so you can stack them and set the letter in one color and the glow in another. Purple letters with a pink glow, white with cyan, phosphor green on deep green. Your call.
It started with a single S I penciled onto a grid of dots, and the green terminal screens of the early '80s, where the letters never quite sat still. I didn't set out to copy an old monitor. I wanted the feeling of one, drawn for the way we design now, and it isn't tied to green.
There's a real lowercase, not doubled capitals, plus accented characters for Western European languages, currency symbols and full punctuation. That's 211 glyphs in every style, all of them spaced and kerned. It works best big: posters, album covers, game screens, tech branding, event graphics and any headline that needs a little electricity in it.
