Author's note

Starting Machine, a creation by renowned font designer aurisbunni, is an exceptional pixelated font that takes its inspiration from the nostalgic "Starting Machine / Please Wait..." screen found in unauthorized NES console games.

With its distinct bitmap style and extra-condensed width, this font is perfect for adding a retro gaming touch to your creative projects. Whether you're designing video game logos, website headers, or even custom merchandise for gamers, Starting Machine will transport your audience back to the golden era of 8-bit gaming.

Embrace the charm of pixel art and let Starting Machine elevate your designs to new levels of vintage authenticity.
