Retrol takes the iconic look of '80s arcade titles and brings it to the next level.
With clean edges and angles not possible in its day, it's ready for the modern world.

This is a utility font that I'm making to facilitate legible button inputs for various games.
I got the idea when I was looking at a moves list for a fighting game.
To make a button, type a capital letter, then a lowercase letter.
The number keys make arrows (for now), so if you type "236FP", you successfully illustrate the basic "projectile" command of many fighting games.
I'm thinking of remapping the arrows somewhere, but for my current needs, the numbers are just fine.
I later will want to have numbers and blank halves so I can illustrate button inputs for other systems, like Wii and PS* (eg: "Button 1" and "R2").
You can even make TG16 buttons right now, (eg: "II", "IV", "VI"),
but I'll need to add more characters for the rest (blank half for "I" and "V", and a "III" button).
Hope you guys get a kick out of this, and sorry to anyone who's already had this idea. I didn't find your font, but I'd love to see it!
