Typography in the Art or Art in the Typography?
Typography was initially developed to better serve the purpose of improving the visual perception of a printed text and thus delivering textual content to the readers more effectively. The art component has always been present in typography, especially at the dawn of its development. Take a look at any ancient book and you’ll see how artfully every glyph was drawn and how richly the text was decorated. Later with the development of mass printing, font designers concentrated more on the practical characteristics of a text rather than on its artistic values. However, today, with the rapid and active development of digital typography and its popularization among visual designers, typeface creators are again ready to fascinate and impress us with the font designs, which clearly belong to art.

Pixelated Free Fonts
Pixel is the basic elementary component of any digital image. Modern displaying technologies have made a great progress to make separate pixels invisible for users; however, designers often choose intentionally to display pixels in large size, thus creating a particular style of a picture or text, when we speak about computer fonts in particular. Actually, pixelated fonts, such as those free fonts showcased below, represent the previous era of digital typography, when the resolution of the displays was low, making the text look angular, awkward, lugged, or just pixelated as the generally accepted term. Today free pixelated fonts with their distinct dots and squares are used in multiple types of design, where it is desirable to underline the machine-origin of the message or create the specific atmosphere of computer fonts, popular a few decades ago.
