Esta fuente ha sido hecha para usarla en un día muy especial en la vida de mis adorados Héctor y Trini, que han decidido casarse. ¡Os queremos felices por siempre! ¡Vivan los novios!

Not finished font (kern in progress). An extra "Q" has been added in place of the "©" glyph, and a nice heart symbol appears also at the "™" one. I'll fine-tune some details ASAP, I promise. 

Recreation of one of the extra large pixel fonts from Capcom's "Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara" (1996).

This recreation is available in TrueType+COLR and WOFF2. As the heavy antialiasing is integral to the shape of the characters (particularly the japanese ones), there is no monochrome version.

The font includes an almost complete set of katakana characters, which were used in the japanese release of the game.

In the game, there are two variants of this font with subtly different antialiasing and vertical alignment for the latin characters. One variant is used at the end of the first level, when the player can enter their name. The second one is used in most other parts of the game. This recreation mixes the two, using the japanese characters, punctuation marks, and the vertical alignment of the former, but the antialiasing of the latin characters of the latter.

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Version 2 update: Tiles are now in 3D isometric view

My only entry for the Fontstruct Color competition, consisting of 38 tile designs for the Chinese game of Mahjong (+ tile back).

I underestimated how big of an undertaking this was going to be, but luckily I managed to curb my perfectionism and get most of the tiles done with designs I'm satisfied with. The Chinese characters were traced from images on Wikimedia Commons (1, 2) and then modified to fit my taste, the space on the tile, even out stroke width and so on. Hopefully they turned out looking good and legible, as I'm not at all familiar with the system. The rest of the designs were freehanded.

The font is named (for now) after my favorite of the designs - the plum Flower Tile, one of the last I drew. (mapped to 'w')

Character Mapping

This font uses two mappings for each of the tiles, to the following Unicode character sets:

Mahjong Tiles (U+1F000 ... U+1F02F)

All tiles are represented except for the four Season Tiles and Joker (U+1F026 ... U+1F02A)

Basic Latin

Coins suit: a to i

Bamboo suit: A to I

Charaters suit: 1 to 9

Dragons: | (Red) 0 (White) # (Green)

Winds: ^ (N) v (S) > (E) < (W)

Flowers: w (Plum) x (Orchid) y (Chrysanthemum) z (Bamboo)

Tile Back: *

Possible Future Updates

I'll probably be taking a break from Fontstruct for a while, but some ideas for future improvements could be:

- Change name

- Add four Season tiles

- Add Joker

- Redesign 1 Bamboo tile (Current one based on a design from this article. It was easiest to replicate but doesn't really fit the rest of the set)

- Add character mapping to Chinese chars.

- [DONE] 3D Isometric view of the tiles

Also this YouTube video from Accented Cinema provided an interesting look into the culture surrounding the game.

Manufaktur

x

The cyanotype was developed in 1842 by Sir John Herschel. This process, commonly used for blueprints, involved placing an object onto a surface and covering it in a solution of Iron (III) salts. Once the solution is exposed to ultraviolet light, the Iron (III) salts are converted into Iron (II) salts. After exposure, the suface is washed and the water reacts with the Iron (II) salts to form a Prussian Blue pigment that blueprints are known for.

x

Manufaktur is a monospaced typeface and while it has upper and lower case letters, it is really unicase. Manufaktur is intentionally stripped of most characters, coming with only the most essential. The idea being that Manufaktur has the bare minimum, but is still functional as a typface. It was designed with the intentions to be used in a machine shop more than on a page.

Notes:

Manufaktur is set in #002c8c, as a reference to blueprints. I had wanted to use Pantone's Prussian Blue (#003153) but it was too dark.

Some of the stenil lines (C, J, O, Q, U, 0, and 2) were made using white bricks. I had experimented ways to get the stencil lines without using white bricks, but it looked much cleaner with them. Being a color font, you should be able to change the color of the white bricks to mach your background. It's not ideal, but it's what looked the best.

Pipe style font that's been started a year ago along with KD Kubr. Finally got myslef into finishing main letters. Still in progress so you might see some errors here and there.

A very light-hearted attempt at extending the TES: Arena blackletter’s charset. Also out of the original games’ technical constraints in terms of spacing and width.

See also TES Arena Blackletter for a much more faithful and strict adaptation of the original font.

I tried to stay faithful, including character spacing, and only glyphs present are the ones I could find in the game files, with very few exceptions (Ñŵ) reserved for alternates.

Ñ is an alternate of uppercase N present in the font files with modified swashes and thus slightly narrower than the one used in the main menu. ŵ is an alternate lowercase W present in the font files that’s one pixel higher up that the one used in main menu.

← and → are two arrow characters found in the font files. I am unsure which specific glyphs they technically represent, so any hints on that are welcome.

See also TES Arena Blackletter Extended for my own attempt at extending the charset and improving certain characters and their spacing or width.

Font from Sorcery on the Commodore 64.  I can hear the Sorceror's Apprentice music now

Recreation of the large pixel font from UbiSoft's "Iron Lord" (1989) on the Amstrad CPC.

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the extra large pixel font from Capcom's "Knights of the Round" (1991).

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Condensed slab serif. Elspeth: elegant, classic, feminine name of Scottish origin; from Hebrew Elisheba (Elizabeth).

I liked the original by Elmoyenique and was curious, whether I can somehow extrapolate the upper case (since its been in oven for years, not baked yet). It's there, but I am not happy with it yet.

Suggestions are welcome.
