ITYT-abC is a typeface created through a participatory workshop at OPEN M Art Fair SHENZHEN, China (2025), hosted by abC art book fair. The workshop was designed and coordinated by Xiaoyuan Gao. Visitors to the fair were invited to create letters and digits using round red stickers, which were then recreated in Glyphs. Most glyphs are based on the original sticker positions, while a few missing ones are improvised by Xiaoyuan.

DOT MATRIX PRINTING,(1) SOMETIMES CALLED IMPACT MATRIX PRINTING, IS A COMPUTER PRINTING PROCESS IN WHICH INK IS APPLIED TO A SURFACE USING A RELATIVELY LOW-RESOLUTION DOT MATRIX FOR LAYOUT. DOT MATRIX PRINTERS ARE A TYPE OF IMPACT PRINTER THAT PRINTS USING A FIXED NUMBER OF PINS OR WIRES(2)(3) AND TYPICALLY USE A PRINT HEAD THAT MOVES BACK AND FORTH OR IN AN UP-AND-DOWN MOTION ON THE PAGE AND PRINTS BY IMPACT, STRIKING AN INK-SOAKED CLOTH RIBBON AGAINST THE PAPER. THEY WERE ALSO KNOWN AS SERIAL DOT MATRIX PRINTERS.(4) UNLIKE TYPEWRITERS OR LINE PRINTERS THAT USE A SIMILAR PRINT MECHANISM, A DOT MATRIX PRINTER CAN PRINT ARBITRARY PATTERNS AND NOT JUST SPECIFIC CHARACTERS.

The perceived quality of dot matrix printers depends on the vertical and horizontal resolution and the ability of the printer to overlap adjacent dots. 9-pin and 24-pin are common; this specifies the number of pins in a specific vertically aligned space. With 24-pin printers, the horizontal movement can slightly overlap dots, producing visually superior output (near letter-quality or NLQ), usually at the cost of speed.

These other technologies can support higher dot resolutions and print more quickly, with less noise. Unlike other technologies, impact printers can print on multi-part forms, allowing multiple copies to be made simultaneously, often on paper of different colors. They can also employ endless printing using continuous paper that is fanfolded and perforated so that pages can be easily torn from each other.
