Guess what movie I just watched again? A mostly accurate font inspired by the movie "Total Recall" (1990). Consider it an experiment in using the 2x vertical filter.
**2017 08-13 Update** Taking advantage of the expanded brick-stacking minimums, I have modified the following glyphs: A a R r S s Z z 2 7 ? _ +
The diagonal leg of the R is still not quite correct; further attempts might be made in the future.
I have also removed the 2x vertical filtering. We are back to good old 1x filtering now.
Inspired by the RoboCop movie logos -- Outline Version. Now includes full character set. For Solid Version, see the "Alex Murphy Solid" font; for dingbats of OCP logos, see the "Alex Murphy Dings" font. Type "RoboCop" into the View-User Input option to try it out!
July 31, 2021 update: Font at version 2.0. Diagonals and lowercase crossbars were thickened, and diagonals now cross into the vertical strokes. Now more movie accurate than ever!

This is a clone of Alex Murphy SolidNintendo's "Super Mario World" (1990) on the SNES contains a maddening 5 pixel fonts. This is the recreation of the two small, 6px tall variants used for the game menus, end-of-stage stats, and the end credits. These have been spread out across the upper- and lowercase. Note the reduced-size 5px tall numerals, and the copyright symbol used on the title screen. UPDATE: in the game, the font has a 2px spacing to account for the outline. in this recreation, i opted to just go for a 1px spacing - if you do use it outlined, make sure to add the extra pixel for authenticity.
Update Sept. 2019: fixed the incorrect "Q"

A few more characters added and spacing of the "I" letters and their variants readjusted... Also, some characters redesigned... More to come...
An attempted recreaction of the Atari Games variation of the "Joystix", "Emulator" and "Emulogic" text fonts as used in-game and during tests from 1984 to 1998... Used in games such as Gauntlet, Xybots, Pit Fighter and Hard Drivin', among various others -- albeit with some custom deviations and extra characters NOT used in the actual text style itself... Also, upon further research, spacing between the actual letters vary by individual game (based on internal alpha tests)...

***SEPTEMBER 2020 UPDATE***
Some minor alterations to small letters... Additional letters coming soon...
Formerly known as "Fontality Caps Basic", this is an emulated font using letters similar to those seen in startup test sweeps of the old Midway and Williams video arcade games, such as Mortal Kombat, Narc, NBA Jam and Smash TV, among many others. The original 26-letter basic alphabet, some of the more common symbols and the numbers for the most part are replicas while the rest of them are made up to visually contour with the styles of their original parenting letters. I apologize I couldn't be any more accurate. But it's because no game as far as I know has an option in any of the tests to see a list of numbers, letters and symbols. So I had to improvise any way I could. I've been wanting a font like this but the only means of getting one as far as I know, was to make one myself!!!
