Hi Folks,

I know this should be in the type section but I need any pointers ASAP and thought I would get a quicker response here.

I need a dot matrix'esque typeface, but with the twist of it being made out of rectangles not dots.

I have been searching but haven't found anything suitable, any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

Cheers Steve, I knew you would get on the case. You're a legend. They are the sort of concept I was looking for, but really wanted something a little more stylish. That is where my problem lies.

Nice one Willy, but Steve got there first the ole dog.

This D3 Digitalism Font | dafont.com is more what I am looking for. But I need more finesse. Think I maybe searching that haystack a bit too much...

Nice one Steve. Not quite what I was after though.

Attached is nearly what I want, but still it needs to be a little more refinement/definition.

I think I might not get what I want without some serious type tweaking...
