This is a font that is cloned from the text that appears in old-school video games made by software companies including, but not limited to, Atari, Namco, Nintendo, Taito, Konami, Sega and Hudsonsoft. It authentically adheres to 8x8 grid-like limitations while at the same time being legible, easily understandable, functional and practical. This font version sacrifices most accented letters in favour of a number of ligatures and digraphs so that two characters can occupy the strict space of one letter to allow for more letters to occupy a line (namely thinner letters like I, F, L and T). Use of US-International keyboard configurations helps in the use of these ligatures (I hope where they are mapped is acceptable).
I have chosen letter-forms that are different from many of the letters that are characteristic of the classic typeface--A and V are most obvious--to give it my own spin. I did include the traditional A and V if you still want them, as well as alternates for 0 and 8. The lower-case letters are my own creation.
Insight and ideas for improvement are greatly appreciated.This is a clone

The idea came from an old Russian postcard with similar grid boxes for the postcode. I tried to draw upper and lower case letters. Use at 16 pixels and at your own risk.

This is the SM Grid Text font. I saw an image which is this...

And I thought I'd have a go on the SM Grid Text font.

Fontanot. Created to capture the 'First FontStruction' style,and make it into a tipsy, jumbled geometric sans. Think before you rate this font 1/10. Please.

The letter forms are based on solid square, where each letter form is created by removing only what is necessary to identify the letter and retaining consistency between the other letterforms. Can be used with Cloaked Humanity Outline for a unique type or multicolor effects.This is a clone of Cloaked Humanity Outline

A condensed bitmap, tight, grid structure typeface. A block structure that uses a scale of unit measurement to acquire its form. Works well with color and negative space. Influenced loosely off of one of the first digital typefaces, Digi-Grotesk.

This font features abundant 90-degree angles and a unique hollowed style. It's great for anything that needs an angular edge, or a smooth pixelated look.

My first draft of a font based on the logo for (defunct?) videogame developer COMPILE. See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVcH8nlEasY
I'm interested in any discussion about how the new letters that have been created can be made more in-keeping with the COMPILE that the logo shows. Or if there are any other fonts like this that already exist.

Has the same general form as Grille, but personally, I think this is better.
Intended for use at large sizes.
