Based on the output from the Mullard SAA5050 teletext character generator as used in the venerable BBC Microcomputer's "MODE 7". Smoothed out even more by hand: not as authentic as Mallard Blocky, but maybe a little more usable]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/223310/mallard_smoother Mon, 07 Sep 2009 13:48:01 +0000

Based on the output from the Mullard SAA5050 teletext character generator as used in the venerable BBC Microcomputer's "MODE 7". I've tried to keep this version fairly true to the original. "Blockier" uses the definitions from the data sheet with each pixel doubled up. "Blocky" uses the definitions from the data sheet along with the extra pixels the chip adds in. "Smooth" and "Smoother" use non-square bricks to make the shape less pixellated while still keeping the overall shape. "Tiny" is the same as "Blockier", but with one data sheet pixel to one font part, giving a smaller pixel font.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/223197/mallard_blocky Sun, 06 Sep 2009 20:21:15 +0000

Clone of Mallard Smooth, tweaked to be proportional rather than monospaced. By no means perfect, and to be honest, I got a bit bored!]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/236908/mallard_neueue

A smaller version of "Blockier": just the raw data sheet pixels.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/223637/mallard_tiny
