Pixel Neba 17 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Manufaktur' by Great Scott, 'Device' by Hanken Design Co., 'Mang' by MADType, and 'Sicret Mono' by Mans Greback (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, modular bitmap design built from square pixels with prominent stair-stepped diagonals and squared counters. The letterforms are compact and heavy, with crisp right angles and minimal curvature, creating a strong, grid-locked texture. Uppercase shapes read sturdy and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same pixel logic with simplified bowls and short terminals. Numerals follow the same block construction and maintain clear, consistent silhouettes across the set.
Well-suited for game interfaces, scoreboards, menus, and UI labels where a screen-native, pixel-led voice is desired. It also works effectively in short headlines, posters, and logo-style wordmarks that aim for an 8-bit or retro-computing feel, especially at sizes large enough to preserve the pixel steps.
The font evokes classic screen typography and early game UI lettering, with an unmistakably retro arcade tone. Its dense black mass and pixel edges give it a bold, energetic presence that feels technical and playful rather than refined.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of classic low-resolution bitmap lettering while remaining bold and highly legible. Its simplified geometry and consistent pixel construction prioritize strong silhouettes and a distinctive retro digital texture.
Spacing appears designed to keep glyphs visually centered and evenly paced, producing a steady, tiled rhythm in text. The design favors straight stems and right-angle joins, with diagonals rendered as stepped segments that reinforce the bitmap aesthetic at display sizes.
