DESIGN LIKE
IT'S 1994

A design style that turns your app into a retro game. Every panel is a character box. Every button has weight. Every screen tells a story — one pixel at a time.

■ WHAT IS IT?FILE 01

Pixel Art UI brings the feeling of classic video games to modern software.

Think SNES menus, old RPG inventory screens, and retro OS windows — but built for real products people use every day.

Everything lives in bordered panels. Text is chunky pixel font. Shadows are hard and black. Nothing has rounded corners. Every element feels hand-crafted and deliberate.

▲ WHAT'S IT GOOD FOR?FILE 02
  • Games and game-adjacent apps — it's a natural home
  • Dev tools and dashboards — the dense layout loves data
  • Indie products with personality — stand out by default
  • Portfolios that refuse to be boring — first impressions stick
  • Anything that should feel bold — when clean is too quiet

01STAGE
THE PANELS
Every piece of content lives in a bordered panel with a header bar. Your layout looks like an RPG inventory — dense, organized, unmistakably game-like.
02STAGE
THE FONT
Press Start 2P. No exceptions. The chunky pixel letterforms make it feel genuinely 8-bit — not just retro-inspired, but the real thing.
03STAGE
THE SHADOWS
Hard, black, zero-blur drop shadows. They give every element physical weight — like it was stamped onto the screen from another dimension.
