VT323

Peter Hull · 2011 · OFL-1.1

A digitisation of the character generator inside the DEC VT320 terminal, and it keeps the artefacts rather than cleaning them up: the curves are built from visible square steps and the strokes are one cell wide everywhere. It is the only pixel face in this archive that is also a working monospace, so unlike the display pixel fonts beside it you can actually set a column of code in it. One weight, and it wants to be set at a multiple of its natural size.

Use VT323 on the web

Self-hosted

You serve the file yourself. Nothing depends on this site staying up, and you get the whole character set — all Latin, Latin Extended, Türkçe, Vietnamese. The file is vt323.woff2, the same one the WOFF2 button above gives you.

@font-face {
  font-family: 'VT323';
  /* Take the WOFF2 button above, put vt323.woff2 wherever
     you serve static files from, and point this at it. */
  src: url('/fonts/vt323.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

body {
  font-family: 'VT323', monospace;
}

Hosted by us

One line, nothing to upload. Put this in your <head>:

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://thatsmyfont.com">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://thatsmyfont.com/fontfiles/vt323.css">

Then use it in your CSS:

body {
  font-family: 'VT323', monospace;
}

One thing to know: the file we host is cut down to Latin characters so pages load quickly. VT323 also covers Türkçe, Vietnamese, and for those you need the download and the self-hosted route.

Questions

Is VT323 free for commercial use?
Yes. VT323 is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
Can I use VT323 in a logo?
Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in VT323 belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Peter Hull. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
How do I install VT323?
Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 1 font file inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
Does VT323 support Turkish?
Yes. VT323 includes the characters Türkçe needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
What languages does VT323 support?
VT323 covers Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish and Vietnamese, across 587 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
Where can I download VT323 as WOFF2?
From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is vt323.woff2, and it is about 31 KB. It is the complete font repacked for the web rather than a cut-down copy: the same glyphs, the same spacing and the same hinting as the .ttf in the download, roughly 60% smaller. Every browser still receiving updates reads WOFF2, so it is the only web format most sites need. Google Fonts does not offer this file for download at all — it serves WOFF2 from its own servers and gives you .ttf if you ask for the family.

VT323 license

OFL-1.1

You may use, modify and redistribute this font, including in commercial work. You may not sell the font file on its own, and any modified version must be released under the same license and under a different name.
