Recreation of the big pixel font from Sega's "Eternal Champions 2" (1995) on the Sega Mega CD.

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

Recreation of the large pixel font from Tose/Tonkin House's "Super Tennis" (aka "Super Tennis World Circuit", 1991) on the SNES.

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

Recreation of the large pixel font from Atari's "Super Bug" (1977) and "Fire Truck" (aka "Smokey Joe", 1978).

In the games, the font is incomplete. Both lack a "Q", "V" and "W", which I made from scratch for this recreation, trying to approximate the overall style/feel. The "J" is present in "Super Bug", but not "Fire Truck". Conversely, the "K" is present in "Fire Truck" only.

With the exception of the added letters, only the characters present in the games' tilesets have been included.

Recreation of the large pixel font from Taito's "Syvalion" (1988).

The original has an additional subtle 1px border around all characters, which acts as basic antialiasing. In this recreation, this border has been removed.

Note the "black circle" (U+25CF), "medium shade" (U+2592), and the round "target" character that has been mapped to "currency symbol" (U+00A4)

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

Recreation of the large pixel font from Taito's "Darius" (1987), also reused in "Darius II" (1989).

In the tile set for "Darius", the "$" was missing a few pixels - this was addressed in "Darius II", and this recreation contains the dollar sign from the latter version.

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

Recreation of the small pixel font from the european/north american release of Climax Entertainment/Sonic! Software Planning's "Shining Force" (1992) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.

This font is unusual, as each character not only comprises two tiles (for its height), but also features characters that are wider than the maximum 8px tiles. In the game's tile set, this was achieved by using a custom encoding, where a single tile contains the combined values for two horizontal tiles.

See this short Twitter thread for a little dissection of the tile set.

The width of each character is also variable and encoded in the bottom tile for each character. Unfortunately, I was unable to work out the logic behind the width information bits - so, for characters used in the game, the correct width was matched manually, and for any characters not encountered (yet) in any of the dialog boxes, I took an educated guess...

Due to the complexity of this encoding, I won't tackle the hiragana/katakana large font from the japanese release.

Recreation of the large (16x16) pixel font from LJN/Software Creations' "Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage" (1994) on the SNES and Sega Mega Drive / Genesis. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the secondary large pixel font from Irem's "Air Duel" (1990). Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of one of the pixel fonts from Video System's "Aero Fighters" (aka "Sonic Wings", 1992). This font is used for the pilot names and post-level taunts. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Extremely blocky typeface, meant for large text of 36 point and up. Feel free to improve upon it!
