Flat and squared off, with the same stroke weight running from one end of the alphabet to the other: the letters in Tiny5 CRT carry no serifs, no tapering, just blunt terminals and tight counters that read like type cut for a screen instead of a page. Stefan Schmidt drew the family and puts it out under Stefan Schmidt Art, and the name says what it takes after: the cathode ray tube display.

Eight files ship with the family, covering its weights and styles, and Regular is the one most people will set first. Language coverage reaches past 611 Latin-based languages, so Polish, Vietnamese or Turkish copy sets without a fallback face stepping in halfway through a word. The files come from a project developed in public on GitHub (gissio), so changes to it stay visible.

It fits retro game HUD and menu mockups, terminal-style headers on a developer portfolio, chiptune release covers and caption type in a self-published zine. Set it large and the squared shapes keep their edges, which makes it a reasonable title-card face too. For body text, put a quiet humanist sans underneath it at a generous line height and let Tiny5 CRT handle the headlines. It is free under the Open Font License for personal and commercial work, and the files download directly from this page.
