About Workbench

Workbench by Jens Kutílek is a monospace typeface styled after segmented LED and dot-matrix displays, but elevated to a variable font with two expressive axes — BLED controls the bleed of lit segments and SCAN simulates scan-line density for a retro-digital effect. The result is highly customizable, ranging from crisp and modern to authentically degraded CRT appearances. It is ideal for tech-themed interfaces, game UIs, data dashboards, and any design invoking terminal or retro-digital nostalgia.
