A sans-serif pixel font meant to be somewhat small and very legible. This is just my PlainAndSimple font with added Latin-1 characters and some adjustments to numbers and punctuation in Basic Latin. Most upper-case glyphs and numbers are 5 blocks wide plus 1 block for spacing, and from baseline to caps-height is 8 blocks. The descender is 2 blocks below the baseline, and accents on capital letters can go up an extra 3 blocks, so the total max height of a line is 13 blocks. Lower-case letters tend to be less wide than upper-case ones.
This is a clone of PlainAndSimpleA clone of Arizone Unicase by zephram that adds some Cyrilic script support and adjusts existing characters so they all fit within 5 blocks of height. The Cyrillic block here sometimes uses blockier designs than Latin, but otherwise stays close to the design of letter shapes from the Greek block.
This is a clone of Arizone UnicaseAn edit of CMunk's brilliant Monotwist that tries to increase legibility even if it reduces stylistic consistency a little. Notably different are most letters with lines that end in curves (such as 'C', 'f', and 'S'), plus 'I', 'i', 'J', 'j', 'l', 'M', 'm', 'Q', 'r', 'W', 'w', 'Z', 'z', and most numbers. Numbers make heavy use of crossing curves, which is an effort to set them apart from similar letters (such as '0' vs. 'O'). Some chars have been added, such as attempts at the copyright and trademark signs. Greek and Cyrillic haven't been touched yet. With 1px spacing between chars vertically and horizontally, this should fit in a 4x11 box per char (each uses 3 blocks of width at most, and 10 blocks of height at most including 2 for descenders).
This is a clone of MonotwistA 6x6-block fixed-width font; cloned from MapMaker by samw3. Not really pixel-optimized, but it should look good at small sizes with anti-aliasing. Includes some box drawing characters (the bare minimum for some text-based applications).
This is a clone of MapMakerA clone of the variable-width pixel font PlainAndSimple (itself a clone of Nano OK) that adds small serifs to many letters and some numbers, with the same weight as the rest of the font. Numbers are full-size here (about the size of a capital letter) instead of the narrrow versions in PlainAndSimple, with a slashed zero. Several other things have been updated, usually relating to the wider max width that the serifs require.
This is a clone of PlainAndSimpleDerived from Nano OK, an earlier font of mine, but with more height and less weight on the capital letters. Having more height makes some of the punctuation less cramped as well. Extends 8 pixels above the baseline and 2 pixels below it. Variable width, with most capital letters 5 blocks wide, plus 1 more for spacing, and lower-case letters varying somewhat, though they are usually slightly narrower. Numbers are unusually narrow to help tell them apart from letters, and are between the lower-case and upper-case letters in height.
This is a clone of Nano OKA small variable-width pixel font with slightly heavier capital letters than lower-case ones. Has some quirks to help distinguish letters and numbers (numbers are very narrow and are 5px tall, while capital letters are 6px tall and many lower-case letters are 4px tall). Descender is 2px below the baseline, maximum glyph height for English-alphabet glyphs is 6px above the baseline, with an extra 3px above that for accents in other languages. Doesn't use any bricks other than the full square. This version covers a decent amount of extended Latin.
This is a clone of Nano OKClone of Galaxsea Starlight Mono v3, with some small adjustments to make punctuation more visible and rein in too-wide extended-Latin glyphs that spread into the previous glyph. Credit for the nice sci-fi aesthetic goes purely to dialNforNinja; I only did some technical work to make this work better in text-based games.
This is a clone of Galaxsea Starlight Mono v3A small variable-width pixel font with slightly heavier capital letters than lower-case ones. Has some quirks to help distinguish letters and numbers (numbers are very narrow and are 5px tall, while capital letters are 6px tall and many lower-case letters are 4px tall). Descender is 2px below the baseline, maximum glyph height is 6px above the baseline. Doesn't use any bricks other than the full square. This version covers only ASCII and a handful of extra punctuation marks, like curly quotes.
Casual Dragon Monospaced by Cohnisgone is an excellent medival-looking pixel font, but didn't have punctuation, so I cloned it to add punctuation and a few grungy box-drawing characters. Text should fit in a 12x16 box at pixel resolution.
This is a clone of Casual Dragon MonospacedWith 12x12 pixels at size 6/8 font, the new brick filter options are on display in Zodiac Square. To ensure a square font, any accented glyphs from Mandrill (my monospaced, lanky, much-of-unicode font) that went above a capital A's peak were cut, but many lower-case accented glyphs stayed in. Since this is meant for a text-heavy game genre where legibility at small size is important, all of Latin Extended Additional was cut -- it was just too hard to read at small sizes, and I doubt it would be very useful in a roguelike or similar text-based game that needs square glyphs. This looks pretty good with anti-aliasing, but the preview may be funny because it uses the old 2x2 filter as well as the new horizontal stretch filter. It's called Zodiac Square because of the 12x12 pixels, 12 signs of the Zodiac.
This is a clone of MandrillThis is another clone of Monkey (my monospace lanky font); it should be very similar to the original except for the lower x-height and the added accented characters (More Latin/Latin-1, Latin Extended A, Latin Extended B, and now Even More Latin/Latin Extended Additional). It is 16 blocks tall and 6 blocks wide; all letters without diacritics are at most 9 above the baseline and at most 3 below, but the accents push the height of a letter up by 3 blocks (or rarely 4), and the box drawing characters extend even higher, to 16 blocks from descender to the highest point. This font uses the FontStruct 2x2 filter method with plenty of composite and stacked bricks, which lets the curves look good at large sizes while remaining sharp on the screen at normal sizes. Mandrill will look strange in the FontStruct preview if you zoom in or out, but if you download it, it will look sharp at size 16 or 12 (depending on the program).
