Early computer terminals showed bright green text on a black screen. This face recreates one with a command prompt at the top, the time in large text, a progress bar made of # signs and a blinking cursor, over a faint scanline texture.
It adapts to the mode. As a clock it shows the date and zone; as a stopwatch it lists your last three laps; as a countdown it shows the state and total, and flags overtime. It is a natural fit for developer pages, hackathon countdowns and anyone who likes the old-school look.
Where it's useful
- A countdown for a hackathon, game jam or launch
- A developer-themed clock on a second monitor
- A stopwatch that lists recent laps
- A retro overlay for a coding stream
Three ways to use it
- Clock — the time of day in your time zone or any city, in 12- or 24-hour form.
- Stopwatch — counts up with laps; press Lap while it runs.
- Countdown — counts down from any time you set, sounds at zero, then counts overtime.
Every face runs entirely in your browser, remembers your settings on this device, and can be embedded on your own page.
