Video Game in a Font

In plain words

Video Game in a Font is a playable game embedded within a typeface file. Launched in 2021, it combines typography and gaming by allowing users to interact with a game directly through font characters. It's designed for people interested in creative experimentation, game design, and unconventional uses of digital tools. The project stands out for its technical ingenuity in merging two typically separate mediums into a single, functional file.
