5X5 Basic

5X5 Basic font by P2+K2 is a free bitmap pixel font that squeezes bold character into a tiny 5x5 grid. Every letter is carved from chunky square blocks, creating a tight, low-res texture that reads instantly, even at micro sizes. In the 5x5 family, this version feels especially crisp and utilitarian—like classic console graphics snapped into place on a glowing screen.

Using 5X5 Basic, you can build retro game HUDs, tiny UI labels, minimalist icons with text, techy posters, glitch art titles, and old-school terminal mockups. This free font shines where space is scarce but impact matters, giving you loud, blocky lettering without visual clutter. For a clean hierarchy, pair 5X5 Basic with a smooth geometric sans for body text and keep this pixel typeface for headers and overlays at consistent grid-aligned sizes.
