Bedstead is a classic monospaced font with a unique origin story. It is based on the characters created by the Mullard SAA5050 series of Teletext Character Generators, which are well-known to those who grew up with the BBC Microcomputer. This chip was used to produce the iconic MODE 7 display, and it did so by generating characters with a 5 × 9 pixel matrix. To further smooth out the look of the character, it interlaced the grid to form a 10 × 18 matrix for each character.
Bedstead takes this concept to the next level by converting the 5 × 9 pixel grid into an outline with smooth diagonals. This helps to create a more uniform look and feel for the font, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of uses. Bedstead is a classic font that has stood the test of time, and its unique origin story is sure to continue to fascinate and inspire.
