Description:
My design incentive: A cube has 9 visible edges when placed isometrically (omitting the invisible 3 edges). These edges should be enough to express strokes of 26+10 alphanumerical characters. Also to increase the contrast, I used a 3-pixel-wide brush for the strokes and dotted the others. Shortcoming: Not very satisfied with the imbalanced weight of each letter. And some of the letters are hard to recognize. PS: Best under Pixel view (View->Show Pixel Preview).

Hey, 999, thanks for liking it. I would, however, think this is "cube", not "cute", ^o^

Very clever twist on the pixel font concept.
And yes, gliphs leaning on three faces like K and R are great!

It's very original! But I'd remove the unemphasized lines of the cubes. IMO it'd greatly improve readability and still maintain the cubical image.
