Here Lies MECC

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

If you grew up playing The Oregon Trail on the Apple II, you'll know this font. Now you, too, can create fake screenshots claiming you've died of dysentery!

Aluminum Silicate Prop

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

A proportionally-spaced version of the Amiga Topaz font.

Aluminum Silicate

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

A re-creation of the Amiga OS 1.0 version of the Topaz system font. Yes, I know of Tepid Monkey's "November" (I even helped port it to TrueType!), but this version includes all of the characters from the Latin-1 set.

(And if you don't get the name... topaz is a type of aluminum silicate.)

DP Tuxedo

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

The 'Tuxedo' font from Electronic Arts' Deluxe Paint II for MS-DOS. Also seen in many classic 8- and 16-bit video games, because a lot of video game artists used Deluxe Paint.

And no, before you ask, this isn't the font from Jazz Jackrabbit, though it is incredibly similar in style.

Trash Eighties

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

The font from the TRS-80 Color Computer, one of the computers I cut my programming teeth on. Characters were traced directly from the system ROM. (I still have the thing in my closet!) Currently only includes the standard ASCII characters, although I'm considering adding the international characters from the ROM.
