Baudot 5

by Richie Whyte

Baudot 5 is an experimental typeface by Richie Whyte that translates characters into dot-based patterns inspired by the Baudot telegraph code, the 5-bit binary system used in early telegraphy. Rather than conventional letterforms, each glyph reads as an encoded symbol, making it more of a visual cipher than a readable font. It's a niche pick for data-themed artwork, installations, or design projects exploring the intersection of communication systems and typography.
