Artwiz fonts
artwiz fonts refers to a set of fonts originally created by Youngjin Hahn, an artist who was involved in the Free Software community and went by the alias "artwiz".[1][2]
Described as "very small futuristic ASCII fonts for X",[3] they are bitmap fonts, with varying styles of typefaces designed at a single pixel size.
The fonts were incorporated as screen fonts in themes for the Blackbox and Fluxbox window managers.
