Pixel Mibu 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'AT Move Skewy' by André Toet Design, 'MVB Embarcadero' by MVB, and 'Glimp' by OneSevenPointFive (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, pixel-stepped display face with heavy strokes and clearly quantized contours. Letterforms are built from large square units, producing jagged curves and diagonals (notably in C, G, S, and Z) and crisp orthogonal joins. Counters are small and squared-off, and terminals are blunt, giving the overall texture a dense, poster-like presence. Proportions feel utilitarian and game-like, with simple geometric construction and a slightly irregular rhythm typical of bitmap-derived outlines.
Well-suited for game titles, arcade-inspired branding, pixel-art projects, and UI elements where a bold bitmap look is desired. It can also work for posters, stickers, and short headlines that benefit from high-impact, retro digital styling.
The font conveys a distinctly retro digital tone, evoking classic arcade screens, early home-computer graphics, and 8-bit/16-bit game UI. Its bold, blocky voice feels energetic and playful, with a tech-forward edge that reads as nostalgic rather than sleek.
The design appears intended to emulate classic bitmap lettering, prioritizing recognizable forms built from a coarse pixel grid. It aims for maximum punch and nostalgic screen character rather than smooth curves or typographic refinement.
At text sizes the pixel stepping remains prominent, creating a gritty texture and strong figure–ground contrast; it performs best when that raster-like character is meant to be visible. Rounded glyphs rely on stair-stepped curves, and diagonals are intentionally coarse, reinforcing the old-school screen aesthetic.
