OUGD505 - Studio Brief 01 - Vaporwave Aesthetics: Type

The use of typography within the aesthetics of vaporwave have origins in Asian computer systems where the traditional Asian symbols would generally be considered "full-width" characters, but the Latin script characters could be fit into half-width blocks because of their relatively smaller sizes.

In the time of computer terminals and text mode computing, characters were normally laid out in a grid. typically 80 columns by 24 or 25 lines. Each character was displayed as a small dot matrix (a 2-dimensional patterned array, used to represent characters, symbols and images. Every type of modern technology uses dot matrices for display of information, including mobile phones, televisions and printers. They are also used in textiles with sewing, knitting and weaving), often about 8 pixels wide and a single byte character set (SBCS - used to refer to character encodings that use exactly one byte for each graphic character) was used to encode characters of western languages.

Unicode Standard:

 Unicode is a computing industry standard for the consistent encoding, representation and handling of text expressed in most of the world's writing systems. The latest version contains a repertoire of 136,755 characters covering 139 modern and historic scripts, as well as multiple symbol sets. The Unicode Standard consists of s set of code charts for visual reference, an encoding method and set of standard character encodings, a set of reference data files, and a number of related items, such as character properties, rules for normalisation, decomposition, collation, rendering and bidirectional display order (for the correct display of text containing both right-to-left scripts, such as Arabic and Hebrew, and left-to-right scripts).
