Videon

Videon is an experimental typeface which consists of only straight lines. Key features include consistently slanted edges, optically similar letter widths, and gaps where the connection of the stroke would otherwise look boring. The most conspicuous letters for the observer are almost certainly A, V, W, v and w. Though they usually require more spacing, here they are slanted on just one side. The numerical digits are just as idiosyncratic. At smaller font sizes, Videon is amazingly legible, and at larger font sizes a real eye-catcher.

Original drawing. Videon is based on an orthogonal grid, without any round forms. It was designed 1981 and is inspired by Teletext and early pixel fonts used for early Video Games.

Although Videon consists only of straight lines, the typeface has a remarkable variety of forms. However, despite the experimental form, Salden always makes sure that his typefaces remain legible even in small sizes. This also applies to this font. It is amazingly legible and in larger font sizes a real eye-catcher.

Surprisingly, Videon is very legible in small font sizes.
