Inspired by a retro-futuristic alphabet reference I found and lost years ago. Most of latin diacritics available.

      Improved version of Wim Gestreept, I reworked proportions and character balance.

      Inspired bt the works of great Wim Crouwel and striped sports jerseys. Also a study in 45 degrees diagonals, happily provided by fontstructor and master Goatmeal. Basic latin support and a few ligatures.

      This is a clone of Wim Gestreept

            My attempt to cross three of my passions: pixel art, shoot'em up games and typography. What started as a full original design also became a homage to classic games with 103 characters. Upper and lowercase are layers (see display below) and other characters are different kinds of game sprites. Best used with no anti-alias at 60pt size.

                This is a homage to Тетрис aka Tetris, released in 1984. Through studying the game I bumped into an emulated screen from the original game, featuring a very simple 10px font. My version is a faux-cyrillic intended for display purposes.Use the | (vertical line) character to build the tetrominoe blocks. Eventually I challenged myself to go further and develop the whole cyrillic alphabet (my first!) which is available along with a basic latin set of characters.

                  This one has been cooking for a while, it's one of my oldest designs, based on an old Deftones logo. I have finally managed to update it and found a proper way to work with the diagonals. Basic latin support and a few alternate letters.

                            An extension of the Chippanze font, now turning into a family itself. This one emulates low resolution displays similar to first generation videogames and old LED signage.

                                  Inspired by my own city peculiar graffitti. Full latin support. ** 27/08/2014 update. Included full latin support for this one.

                                      This was my first type design ever (dating back to 2002). I reviewed it completely so it could be more consistent and work within a modular mindset. It also has a wider character set (full latin support). Inspiration comes from old logos from toy companies and candy manufacturers.

                                          This is my first fontstruction. An attempt to convey something based on building toy blocks, modernism and wood stamping. Full latin set. Soon to be released as a stamp set of its own.

                                                      A very simple approach to create a layer font. To use it just overlay upper and lowercase to create layer effects. Watch out for the accents, they also layered. Basic latin support.

It has a simple but effective latin set and a few alternates in the form of upper/lowercase.
