Let not the death of our elders be the demise of our ways of life. Let not the passage of time be measured in the passing of languages beyond all living memory.

Extended character and symbol set by William Leverette
This is a cloneWhat began nearly 8 years ago as an experiment in multi-stage, multi-resolution pixel serif type drafting (starting smallish then manually upscaling x4), took on the robust character you see here after countless edits and some tricky lessons learned along the way.
The initial weight was on the light side (cloned privately for posterity), so I took a leap into this bookish weight by fattening each glyph copy-pasted 1 pixel shifted both up and to the right. A rudimentary technique, by no means novel, yet almost wholly effective. I saw fit from here to only make a handful of corrections, keeping the slightly rounded and slanted serif shape that resulted as well as the subtle reenforcing of a pen-nib construction.
More intriguing is the 1-bit “anti-aliasing” scheme I found myself progressively guided toward while finding the lines of these curves developing the initial light weight. Implied diagonals and said curves – as well as refinement of contrast – are substantially more granular and specific than had I taken a black-and-white posterized, or stairstepped approach.
At half-resolution, the resulting smoothness is acceptible. This type of hinting will be useful in developing a substitution rule set consisting of subpixel slanted or curved bricks to produce a “vectorized” version.
Indeed, such a process could be purely automated by a proficient developer or properly trained neural network (this would be a really interesting future feature for fontstruct pro – rather than hinting a font after painstaking vector construction, why not reverse the process by way of en vogue ai-assisted upscaling?).
Basic accented charaters and numerals are being added as I churn through the extended character set...

Zoom out to see it in a smooth form. Font operates at its best at 12, 24, and 36 but it is flexible. How to use: Classic wasd for redstone up down left and right. Classic numerical keypad for redstone intersections. (hold shift for numbers for coordinates) top qwerty row for various redstone devices (including slime to makes pistons sticky. The bottom row is reserved for pistons and repeaters. For any slight nudging of things, press `.
Update: I added "Slime blocks" f. g for hopper. Observer is j. Chest is h.
North, east, south, west, up, and down directions which will help the comparators and repeaters and redstone torches and hoppers. This is done by using Z,X,C,V,B,N. Let us use the example of a repeater, west facing, on 3 ticks delay. First you put a c to make a 3 tick repeater, then you put the v which will put a "West" on that repeater.
See picture entitled "The layout" (below) and youll see its actually quite simple.
Pixel story mono is a monospaced font perfect for your retro rpg! The characters are 7 pixels high. For fantasy or history themed games, the informalness is a nice alternative to the more common "robotic" looking 8 bit fonts.
This is a cloneThis font combines two simple ideas and puts them together. Braille and color theory.
I had a long time been holding on to this font (about 2 years) but decided that maybe someone out there would like it. Its complicated, in a way, but can end up being the most compressed "barcode" I have ever seen. (With the average letter taking up approximately 2 pixels when used in its "second form" but we will get into that later.
As with many of my fonts, is rooted in braille. So a knowledge in braille is neccesary. (Braille is very very easy to learn)
So heres the nuts and bolts. Lets take a 3 letter word in braille, say, "ice"
o| oo| o
o | | o
i c e
in of itself it takes three braille spots, but, what if we were to use color theory to compress it?
the first letter would be red, the second in yellow, the third in blue? You could have them occupy the same place and have no loss of information! Anywhere red overlapped the yellow, it would be orange, anywhere yellow overlapped blue it would be green! etc.
so, "Ice" could now be expressed as
green, orange
red, blue
The word "Ice" is conveyed in a 2x2 packet of colored pixels!
Which brings me to my font. "Rybian" (a play on words of "RedYellowBlue-ian" is a colorless way of expressing that same form.
red is a horizontal line
yellow is a circle
blue is a verticle line
so, logically, orange would be a circle with a horizontal line in it
green would be a circle with a verticle line in it
purple would be a verticle and horizontal line
Clone of Motorik NBP. In my symbolic logic class, when I was typing out my homework, there wasn't any font that had logic symbols, I thus had to copy-paste each individual symbol from a wiki article. It was very tedious. Hence for the first time in Fontstruct (I checked) I present The Logic font. For this "project" I needed a good, clean font with a "type 1" filter. Thus my thanks goes out to Perjys547 who doesn't seem to be an active Fontstructor anymore. I want to emphasize that absolutely all of this is his work minus the !@#$%^&*, which I put into logic symbols. That's all I did. ! is the "not" @ is the "all" since its like an A # is the "some" since its like a 3 $ is the "therefore" since FOUR % is the "if then" ^ is the "or" since the symbol is similar & is the "and" because duh!!!! * is the "if and only if" /mutual biconditional.
