(x) dot font used for visual identity of Olafur Eliasson installation at the Tate Modern - (similar to) Budmo {Lex}
Hi there!
Does anyone know about this one? It is 'similar' to the Dot-Matrix but is drawn like a real typeface, not as 'gridded' as the dot-matrix.
I found a very similar font in a old letraset catalogue, where it went by the name of 'Pinball', it seems that it never made it into a digitized font.
It got used in the visual identity of the Olafur Eliasson installation at the Tate Modern.

I feel like we've seen this before and decided it was custom for the Tate.
Edit: the thread I was thinking about referred to the Tate's main identity, which was designed by Wolff Olins. Dunno about the dot font, but could also be a custom font. It's nice.

You might like something like Budmo by Ray Larabie (Thanks, Yves). If you take Jigglish and remove the outline, it may come close. The TrueType versions are free too.

thanks guys,
I was indeed looking for the dot-font. The Budmo one worked for my sketching purposes.

Julian Morey (Club 21) has done loads of this type of thing (stencil fonts too).

Lex, you can Wikify anything by enclosing it between double square brackets, as is explained here.

Found another similar dot font - Bead Chain by Harold's Fonts, based on the letterforms of Gill Sans.
