This is something I've doodled on for a while. I'd like to incorporate shapes other than triangles and rectangles into this but I'm just too busy with other projects. Feel free to continue it, make it better, or whatever.

I had help from BWM for suggestions to improve a lot of the glyphs. Thanks, man!

Font with a particular feel. The shapes are modified & filled versions of glyphs from my Tangereen series.

This is made to be a logotype for my band, so it's developed as far as it needs to for the time being. Uppercase, numerals, more refinements, etc. might come in future.

Alternate font for the game "Naïvely". This one is made according to considerations present in pixel art rather than typography.

This smaller design will probably be used for the in-game dialogue, alongside "Madufaros Mini" which will be used to name the character who is speaking.

A double-line style with a twist. Named for the Exage Viral Armada (EVA), a mutagenic virus featured in several of my own games and stories. EVA causes rapid limb bifurcation and the spontaneous generation of butterflies, both of which can be seen in various glyphs from this design.

The exact rules for this are somewhat complicated, and based on structural as well as visual analysis. The basic idea can be seen on glyphs like k and x: Closed loops (double line) are joined by single lines which turn back on themselves to create the illusion of more lines. Of course, this idea had to be modified for most of the other glyphs, for the sake of stylistic consistency and visual interest. Particularly, almost all the spurred glyphs have the double-line structures open up to form the spurs.

hurr hurr hay zephth ur font is hard to read!!!!!!!

A miniaturized version of Madufaros with many subtle aesthetic changes.

I may condense it further, by removing certain details (such as the backs of "f" and "t" along with the projecting front part of "l"), but I'm satisfied with it as-is for now... more testing must be done...

Pixel prototype of a font for an upcoming game being developed by yours truly. This will likely be used, but only for flashbacks and dreams. The normal ingame font may be a high-res version of this, or something different - tests are still being done to determine this.

English only for now, as there are no plans to localize the game myself.

"Madufaros" = "daughter of Madu".

Original size: 9pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfect rendering)

A plainer, incomplete version of Woodcut Deco. I made this intending to create a 4th iteration of Tangereen, but quickly realized it looks nothing like any of the Tangereen designs. I still thought it was worth keeping, though, so here it is.

Inverted marquee made for a friend. A lot of conversations we had informed this design, but those are best kept between us. Suffice to say that the friend in question wanted this font to embody certain principles of his avant-Daoist beliefs, and he is satisfied that the current form of this font accomplishes the goal.

Version 0.2

Well, how about it?

Version 0.5

Doodle doodle DOODLE!

The flaws which were previously evident in the counter shapes have been corrected. This design is now suitable for use at any legible size.

Just an idea I jotted down quickly in the editor...

A tiny font with character. Made for an upcoming project.

V1.1: The More Latin is in progress.

Another doodle... Well, shall I continue this one?

I sort of designed myself into a corner with the uppercase, by not using the same grid size as the lowercase. But, this choice led to an interesting and unique look so I'll keep it.

One of many pixel fonts needed for an upcoming project.

Version 1.1 - Added Polish.

A font for times when Immersive Mode is turned off. This is used for documents and signage within the Euphedoran Extradimensional Research Institute situated in Euphedora, Greater Azwelkeland, Planet Ashr within ESOSVM.

EERI is known for Fengmiao Fukota, Salva Dheen and Triste Marinan, three of ESOSVM's most-learned and chronologically oldest AI characters. The lattermost of these is often consulted (through a software called MIDAS) for analysis which I use to improve the readability of certain fonts.

Small-grid doodle which creates new combinatorial forms.

I considered this design rather rough and unappealing until I gave it negative spacing. This caused the forms to merge together in unpredictable and interesting ways. The lesson here is that sometimes the metrics, not the aesthetics, are what "make" or "save" a design.

Lunais, but with many extraneous details omitted.

A novel Connected Outline design with spiral-like tendencies.

A harsh 2-in-1 pattern font.

Semiserif semispur minimalism.

*

This design uses a few novel glyph-shapes and techniques to achieve its look. Most notable of these is the serifed a which lets the serif protrude to the right. I avoid this feature in almost all designs, especially pixel fonts, because it adds an unnecessary 1px of spacing - but for this font, the feature can be included without changing anything for the worse. Many other glyphs have this same sort of protruding serif/spur, and the slanted geometry of the serifs/spurs affords them a look that "retreats" from neighboring glyphs, rather than seeming to protrude into them.

Version 0.3

A small-grid font with character.

*

Design Rules:

- No angles.

- Asymmetry should be present wherever feasible.

An unfinished doodle. Perhaps someone else will find this more inspiring than I did.

A flat-topped Decolike. This was a difficult style to work with!

Font with 4x6 global matrix and no line spacing. Made for a number of specialized uses - bitmaps, marquee displays, media player skins, medium-canvas pixel art, etc.

*

Original size: 4.5pt

Mildly quirky serif font made for the signage/logos of a certain event. Limited character set.

V0.2.6: Finished Cyrillic.

*

A small scale faux-bezier design with a cutout-esque look. It offers different advantages at different sizes. Most glyphs are legible down to 4pt.

As this design evolves, it gives me an increasing "board games" feeling. This design seems very well-suited for board game parts, especially cards and smaller plastic pieces.

*

This has a few notable design features:

- Asymmetry helps keep letters like bdpq from being confused for one another

- Serifs and flags accomplish the same thing for groups of similar letters such as ce and ftſ

- Semiserif style helps reduce the need for kerning to almost zero

- Simplified polygons and counter shapes help pixel optimization
