Bitmap fonts
Bitmap fonts are a type of font that represent each character as a tiny grid of pixels, similar to a digital mosaic. Each letter or symbol is stored as a set of pixel arrangements, which collectively form the shape of the character. When displayed on a screen or printed, these pixel patterns are turned on or off to render the text. Bitmap fonts are simple and fast to display, making them useful for low-resolution screens or specific applications, but they don't scale well; enlarging them can cause jagged or blurry edges.
