Prog

Prog is a modular font created on a five by nine square grid. The x-height, and consequently most of the lower case adheres to a five by five grid, with an additional two units above and two units below for capitals, ascenders and descenders.

There are three versions of Prog available: Square (square-edged), Radius (round-edged) and Fusion which is essentially square but with round O’s, round punctuation and diagonal 45° X’s. The addition of a few disruptive characters makes quite a difference to the look of the font, it has a bit of a dangerous quality.

A few characters, namely the M and W in both upper and lower case are granted a width of seven units to give them a more conventional look, however for the purists, a monospace version of the font also exists in all three styles, which demands that the M’s and W’s are restricted to a width of five units.

All versions have full upper and lower case character sets and includes all accented characters for Western and Central European languages.
