Type Design for Quattrocode

Bus sign meets 8-bit game

Quattrocode is a pixel typeface designed by Arthur Lebsack, originating from a 2020 Type Workshop brief to merge the visual language of bus number signage with 8-bit game aesthetics. The family ships as a variable font with three styles—Regular, Italic, and reverse contrast—plus four stylistic sets. The Regular reads like barcode lettering; the slanted styles shift toward a friendlier register, capable of imitating textures such as a Christmas sweater. At high-density settings, all styles dissolve into abstract graphic texture.
