DotMatrix is a font inspired by the dot matrix printers of the 1980s, capturing the essence of the printing technologies from that era. It's perfect for evoking a retro or nostalgic feel, rendering ASCII/ANSI art, or use within code editors. For true scale, use 10 point text.

Character Set: Includes 537 characters featuring the full set from the Epson FX-80 printer, DOS code page 437, Google Fonts Latin Core, Greek Core, Cyrillic Core, and Hebrew. Note, the italic subset is limited to 191 characters due to historical constraints.

Dot Jitter: Simulates the inaccuracy of the printing head for an authentic look.
