Bitcoin Typefaces

Bitcoin Typefaces explores how the Bitcoin symbol (₿) would look across 100 influential typefaces. Only three already included it, so I designed the other 97 by studying how each typeface handles the dollar, euro and yen signs.

Instead of adding identical strokes to a B, I followed each typeface's proportions, weight and details. Bell Centennial carries over its ink traps, while OCR-A uses a single stroke. The differences reveal how much character can hide in one small symbol.

I brought all 100 interpretations together in an A2 print, arranged like a type specimen. The project imagines how ₿ might become an ordinary part of typography.
