A work-in-progress… Inspired by the typeface seen on the Sactuary computer in Logan's Run.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/375228/runner_8 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 23:09:46 +0000
The next generation of pixel8. In this version the lower-case letterforms have a more consistent x-height, and—oh yeah—there's a full upper-case. January 2011 revision: • renamed "pixel8b" to "pixel8 rev B" • tweaked the legibility of the percent sign and the lower-case x • redrew curly braces to differentiate from parenthesis •added ff ligature on accent grave key •fixed some kerning issued with comma and parentheses]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/379026/pixel8_rev_b Sat, 06 Nov 2010 20:14:47 +0000
Did the world need another low-res typeface? I don't know but I did it anyway. Originally, I only needed a few letters and I planned this to be just a pixel-style design. I only intended to use it as a display font at larger sizes. But as I worked on it, I got inspired to make it hold up at smaller sizes, too. I wanted to be very minimal but still infuse it with a little more life than a lot of (low-res) sans serifs. Corners were rounded where possible, and I tried to invoke some old style characteristics like the looped g and bent lower-case t. I also like the variation in the x-height; some are 5px reaching above the waistline, but most are only 4px. I could have made them all 5, but this creates some more interesting word shapes. It's lower-case only at this point; upper-case is on its way. Hopefully non-lining numerals and more punctuation, too. The name is a play on words that relates to the 8-pixel cap-height.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/376743/pixel8_3 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 16:43:54 +0000
