The lineage of base 900 is an example
of how technological restraints can
serve as a source for design inspiration
and exploration. The design morphed
from a bitmap, to a restricted outline,
to a full, high resolution typeface. The
resulting Base 900 fonts still convey a
modular, geometric style, reminiscent
of the early computer technology era,
but with an updated, more rened look
made possible by a high resolution grid.
